to see if any dj's respond to this craigslist ad:

I am looking for a DJ (with your own equipment)for a party that I am having on December 8th. I know it's early but good DJ's are hard to come-by during the holiday season. I am offering $100.00 plus food, for services from 4:45p.m. until 11:00 p.m. for a DJ that has old school and new school music. (I am talking from B.B. King-the thrill is gone to T.I.-big thangs poppin')I want smooth jazz type of music played during dinner, and I need clean versions of the music. I'm asking all interested DJ's to leave me your contact informaton i.e., phone number. I will not contact anyone via email, and most importantly I need all interested DJ's to send a sample cd (please do not respond if you cannot supply a sample cd) to: Mz. Kay 1571 E 193rd Street Euclid, Ohio 44117 no later than August 15, 2007 (That is how I will make my decision) I will contact all responders beginning August 15, 2007. I will meet with the chosen one in October, there will be a contract for you to sign. I am working with limited funds so if you feel that I am not offering enough money please DO NOT respond. I will not negotiate the price. Thank you in advance to all interested parties.
 
The whole tone of the ad:

(But I bet that someone does respond to the ad :sqmad: )
 
I think that you should post a link and we all should respond with a "WTF" and just fill her e-mail box... she's just trying to get free CD's
 
This add has GHETTO GIG written all over it. She sounds like she is holding a talent show for bottom feeders to audition for. She has the mindset that DJ's are worth only what she wants to pay. To hell with that. She sounds like a control freak also.

She's probably going to use the sample CD's instead of the $100.00 DJ
 
Six and a quarter hours for a hundred bucks? These people have gotta be smokin' crack.

I am wondering if this is legit. Has anyone traced the mailing address?

A sample CD? Sample of what, exactly? :confused:

Oh, I'm sure this person will receive some contacts. There are a lot of wannabes out there.
 
I would love to send a sample of the harshest Screech effect I can find and aww Hell Naw at the end!!
 
IF (and that's a big if) this is actually a legit ad, whoever takes the job will not be paid, mark my words.

I can guarantee you that the "contract" she is making the person sign says that they will not be paid until the completion of the event, and I can also guarantee that she has a clause in it that if she or the party guest are not happy with the performance, the DJ will not be paid. She will find some way to get out of paying the person who takes this.

The fact that she will not contact anyone via email means she does not want any communication trail, so it will be her word against anyone she hires (and we all know how that goes). Plus, she is breaking the law by asking for a sample CD, because unless the person who sends it to her gets permission from every artist they put on the disc that they can reproduce their music, they are breaking the law.

This is just some immature teenager having a party, most likely when her parents plan to be out of town, and trying to act grown up about it.
 
there will be a contract for you to sign

Is this normal in anyones market to sign a contract that is customer supplied?
 
My first gig paid $150 19 years ago! Back when I had absolutely no clue!
I'd really like to see the list of responders to that crack head!

No Negotiations? When she gets no responses, will she change her mind? Or go without?
 
I need more information on what's for dinner!!

Hotdog and pork and beans. If you meet the high standards of the client you even get a bun for the dog. Just one word PASS, NEXT, sorry that was two words my bad.
