This would have never happened with Franzia, via yoursdaily If you can't trust a man selling you $38,000 worth of wine 3,000 miles away on a site that also offers gently used doll clothing and trash-for-TV swaps, who can you trust? The Post reports that a California man who traveled all the way to Queens to buy a case of Chateau Lafite Rothschild was instead robbed. We knew there was a reason that we exclusively drink Carlo Rossi.
"Bart," who was offering the deal of century ($3,200 a bottle) on Craigslist, seemed legit because the victim had bought pricey wine off the site a few weeks earlier from another seller without a hitch. But after arriving at the designated meeting place, he was "tied up and robbed of $40,100." A witness saw the man stagger from the building with "his head bleeding. He had no shoes or socks." No problem, you can find those on Craigslist.
