Craigs List
I am addicted to Craig's List. I don't really buy or sell anything, but I love seeing what people try to sell. I really love to watch when someone tries to sell a used piece of crap for the same price as buying it new.
Anyway, there is an unofficial reply process on CL where someone will post a response to another post and put "RE" to let viewers know it is related to another post. I found the following pretty funny.
In case you don't make it to the end, let me explain something to those not from around these parts. An April game on Tuesday against Kansas City sells out and bleacher seats go for triple face. Yankee tickets, say for 25 dollar bleachers, will go for 150.
"Man, that's a lot of typing to come to the ending that you would pay up to double for Yankee tickets. Unless you find someone with a recent head wound, getting those tix for 2x face will be a chore.

Hey there,
Interested in three tickets to the Monday afternoon game against the Yankees on August 21 ( 8/21 ). I know it is a pain in the *** to get three instead of four or a pair - but if you are a season ticket holder and can not make it to the game in the afternoon due to work or being on the Cape an extra day - I'm here to help!! HAHA
Not a broker - will not resell - and looking to take a buddy and his 11-year old son coming into town for the weekend. They are going to stay the extra day if I can find some decent seats.
Already going to Sunday night's game with my own season tickets (Im not as lucky as those who bought in the 80's - so my seats are out in right field), but would really like to see the game from atop the Monster if possible - money is not an object for this game - but the better the seats - the better the price.
Willing to pay up to double the face for REAL field box, EMC, Monster or Loge seats.
Please do not offer bleachers, right field box seats or grandstands as those are available outside the park by the thousands.
Looking for the best and will pay for the best! Thanks!!"
