Every Day while cutting through the computer gigs section of Craigslist I see at least one idiot posting something stupid. This site will feature those posts.

Repair!!!! or A little piece of my harddrive

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop that needs to be assembled from scratch. I have all the parts and screws but just need someone to put it together. I need a professional to do it. I don’t have much money to spare which is why I will pay 20.00 for the job because I’m pretty sure it will not take more than one hour to assemble.

Let me get this straight.  You’ve taken apart your laptop, expect a “professional” to come to you and reassemble it.  You, who knows nothing about comptuers, (if you did you won’t be posting this) are “pretty sure” this will only take an hour.  You’ve determined that an IT professional is only worth $20.00 / hr.  I’m curious do you treat your plumber and electrician this way?  Have you ever said, “Dr. Jones, it only took you 15 mis to diagnose me, so I’ll pay you $8.00”?

For the record if this person said “All I can afford is 20.00”, I’d understand and have some sympathy.  The economy sucks, no one has money, I get it.
