Craigslist Sales -> What a day!! :D

I tend to do a lot of buying through Craigslist. Usually, it's small items like CDs, clothes, crappy furniture... but I noticed this post for a monitor.

Here's the email chain that ensued from me noting my interest in the item ($165 22" acer X widescreen):

me: I'm interested. Any dead pixels?
seller: It is brand new in a sealed box...never opened
me: I see. Thanks for the offer, but I'm anxious about putting down cash on an untested product with no chance of an RMA. Good luck with other offers!
seller: one year factory warranty
me: Oh, interesting. What was the original purchase date?
seller: Jan 2009
me: Thanks for continuing to humor my questions. Why do you have it, unopened still after two months?
seller: Forget it, dont bother people when they are selling something
me: Good luck with your sale, regardless.
seller: Thats ok, I don't need you. I already sold plenty and I'll sell this one

My "good luck" statements must have been taken as "good luck making a sale without me" *harumph-type-of-thing*... 

What do people usually say these days? Best wishes?

Does this interaction seem scam-like or is a usual transaction on a no-questions asked basis?

Ah well...

I'm excited about my new computer! Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow (snafu with the delivery today). I bought a Dell, Studio XPS 435, Core i7-940, 4GB, 1TB, ATI Radeon 4850 for $1k from delloutlet.com. It's going to be roughly 8x faster than my currently outdated P4 rig, so hopefully my video editing won't be as tedious.

I biked into work this morning for the first time this season! IT WAS AWESOME! As a side note, I had a flat tire in the rain (which I swapped out on the side of the road), but the ride was beautiful! I love the speed involved in cycling, the effortless glide... I was happy by the time I'd reached work, and that feeling hasn't subsided all day! I'm headed to bed now, happy with the day, happy with the work I got done at work, happy that the pantry is now fully stocked after a trip to wegmans, happy that I got to hear the Smokin Hot Pipes live, happy that I have a new computer coming tomorrow, happy that Cheryl is happy that I'm happy, and overjoyed by Annabelle's constant stream of affection, attention, and creativity. Booyah! What a day!!
