New Paper Shredder

Cost of gas to drive to Craigslist seller's apartment to buy paper shredder: $1.13

Potential net loss when you realize he sold you a malfunctioning paper shredder:
$9.00

The look on his face when you send him an email telling him, "Thanks!" and that "Everything works great!" because you unscrewed the whole mechanism and etched out the densely jammed paper between the 2 blades when he sold it because he probably thought it was beyond repair and wanted to pass the problem off on someone else:
Priceless

There are some things money
won't buy (like $50-$100 paper shredders). For everything else, there's sticking-it-to-the-Craigslist-guy-that-thought-they-were-ripping-you-off-but-then-you-fixed-the-problem-and-won-in-the-end-Card.

  4. Kristen, I will pay you $8 to shred my paper, but you have to turn it into paper mache afterwards.
