I sincerely doubt that he expected this offer, but he'd be one cruel man if he didn't take it.

According to icallthebigspoon, he posted this simple, unremarkable Craig's List ad (http://www.webcitation.org/5mXaajRGf):
I have a pink Casio Elixim 7.2 Megapixel digital camera that needs a new battery and maybe a new charger as well. I am selling it for $30 OR I am willing to trade it for a useable cell phone that works on the ATT network. Email me if interested.
and received this response:
Hello,
I am very interested in trading with you. I have a barely used att i-phone that my ex-wife gave me. I don't like to use it because it reminds me of her ugly face. I also have a camera just like yours except that the screen is cracked (I have the battery and charger). I need a camera bad because I have a new girlfriend and she is hot and is willing to let me take pictures of her!!!!! Lets make a deal straight up?
There's no word on whether he made the trade yet, but how could he not when it would make the other man's life oh-so-much more fun? [Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/ali2z/so_i_posted_an_ad_on_craigs_list_for_swapping_an/)]
