My husband and I are selling some furniture on Craigslist, an activity that always leads to good laughs and strange stories. Here are some of the emails I have received in the past three days:

My favorite, from Tommy:

yo id like to buy that sweet papasan chair if you still have it. i can pick it up tomorrow.

A thoughtful one sent from Manuel after he and his family picked up the TV:

Thank you very much for the tv, this tv is what i was realy looking for. thank you again.

From Rhonda:

I would like to buy your plants. waiting to hear from you, thanks, Rhonda………(I will give them a very good home)

And, as always, ones that are a little off and therefore a little suspicious:

Thanks for your mail,i will like to make fast payment for this item,so i will like to send you certified bank check and once the check have clear at your bank my shipper will come for the pick-up at your place,so get back to me with the name to be on the check,your full address,state and zip-code and you phone number.

Get back to me asap.
