Selling a Treo 700w

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

At the Novell conference last week I won a ~$500 phone. Awesome. But it only runs on Verizon (I have Cingular) and I like the phone I have just fine. So I’m trying to sell the thing on Craigslist to avoid the ebay tax.

The most amusing request I’ve seen went like this:
“Would you consider trading for windshield repair?”

Thanks but my windshield is fine.

“Well, sure it is now. But you never know.”

Thanks, but I’m really looking to trade for cash.

Sorry for the down time
