I'm just venting here - no names, just a complaint to the ether. From time to time I utilize the Airheads.org Classifieds option to advertise parts for sale. I have a set of bags currently advertised on the website. I'm not asking an outrageous sum, actually for much less than I originally paid, and still in very good condition. Lo and behold I received an email from someone relatively local saying this: "I will buy your bags". Ok, so we have a deal. That's just great. Being a compatriot Airhead I automatically assumed this fellow was not approaching me as a novice, that his decision was made based on sound knowledge and reasonable thinking. We discussed timing for a meet up via text messages. This will be great. An easy sale to a knowledgeable person, and I wouldn't have to ship.

This fellow shows up early - he's waiting for me at my house, for how long I don't know, but now I'm a little wary. We look at the bags together. He opens them. He closes them. He turns them over and starts to make weird noises. 10 minutes goes by - I'm wondering whether he's all there or not. 15 minutes goes by -
I have other things to do. I'm not a shoe salesman. He asks if the small scratches on the bags are severe. What? I tell him the bags have worked fine for me for 6 or 7 years, and they would probably work fine for him too. I give him a little verbal shove - I need to move along. Then he asks me for a discount...... I remind him of his email committment. The bags are cheap by comparison with recent sales. He looks dazed. He asks if I have other Airhead parts for sale. I'm running out of patience now. As politely as possible I inform him it's time for him to leave - I've been too courteous. I'm done suffering fools gladly.

This fellow just traveled 40 miles up the 405, through some of the worst traffic in the USA, to waste my time. Just tells you that some Airheads are truly......now wait for it......................airheads.
