[Highland Park] how NOT to sell an item on the list serv
by J.L. Burke 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

This is my second email, but the first was never posted as perhaps the moderators thought it was too strongly worded or targeted an individual too directly. Recently, I responded to an advertisement on the list serv for a large item. With kids in tow, I went to see the item and offered an amount which he said was the highest offered, and agreed to the sale. I asked if I could put down half and have my husband return for the item later (we needed hubby's larger vehicle). He agreed to hold the item for me, and we shook hands on the deal. When my husband arrived at his house later that evening, he waited half an hour for this person to show up, who then stated he had received a "better offer" and demanded more money if my husband wanted the item. The item, which was promised to my toddler, was needless to say not purchased. Our deposit was returned, but my child was crushed. Neighbors: If you are selling an item (especially something large which requires later pickup), and you take money from the person and shake on the deal, you have SOLD your item. Demanding more money upon pick up is rude and unethical, and not a way to do business with your fellow Highland Parkers. I think most of us know that but apparently others need a reminder. I hope that this person's alleged other buyer never came to get the item. If he did, I hope a lousy few more dollars was worth it to him to make a little child sad. Please use courtesy and integrity when selling on the list serv.

[Highland Park] Gift Certificate to Loom, Exquisite Textiles
by Dawn Seckler 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Dear Neighbors, Upon returning some material, I received a gift certificate for $55 to Loom, Exquisite Textiles located in the Strip. If you're into this kind of thing, I'm sure you know the store...it has a lot of fantastic fabrics for very fair prices. I've come to discover that I have no talent for working with fabrics (hence the return and resulting store credit), but if you do and if you shop at Loom, please consider buying the gift certificate off of me! I'll give it to you for $50...consider it like a $5 coupon! Thanks, Dawn 412-977-0652

[Highland Park] infant/child lifejackets
by Nicole Burtch 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Hello neighborhood! I have 2, used once for 15 minutes, lifeguard certified life jackets - for baby/toddler size 12 month - 24 month. On tags it says "infant / child 0 - 50 pounds". However, my two boys (weighing 35 and 45 pounds) found them too tight... really think it depends on body build of kid. Color: red and yellow. Sale 8$ each or both for 15$. Thanks!

[Highland Park] baby items for twins
by Melissa C. Jones 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi, My kids are having twins in about two months - first babies in the family. About two months after the births, they move to Nairobi, Kenya for four years. They are anxious to get as many baby items here, while they are still in the country. And needless to say, they need two of everything. Please let me know If you have any gently used baby equipment and are thinking of giving it away or selling it, I would be interested. Many thanks, Grandmother-to-be, Melissa
