We didn't stay for long as we needed to meet potential buyers for the RV. Off to the neighboring township of East Weymouth, MA we spent time on Craigslist and other RV websites...as well as waiting for potential buyers who'd arranged to meet us.
This day grew into one of frustration as firstly we found our Craigslist ads had been 'ghosted' meaning that while the post was active, it was not visible to anyone. Secondly, the folks who'd arranged to look at the RV did not show up. Argh.
Time to get creative and find someone local whose IP address we could use to post ads onto Craigslist locally. We ran through all the contacts we had and came up with two people; both long shots but worth a crack. Four degrees of separation later we connected with Geoff (our good friend Graeme's brother) and found ourselves driving to Little Attleboro, MA, an hour's drive south west and north of Providence, MA. In the neighbourhood really!!
Who knew that we'd connect with a St. Stephen's (Tipene) Old Boy and his family?! We pulled up and within 5 mins the kids were awake and making new friends with Geoff's boys. Marco worked his magic on the laptop and we had new ads posted within minutes...now to play the selling game...
Missy and Geoff were great; our kids settled in like part of the furniture and before long we were eating pizza, drinking beer, discovering all the treats at the local store and planning to stay over!!
