Alejandro was negative about Craigslist, arguing that he didn't want strangers stopping by the house and that the payoff would be too small for the work of posting ads and fielding calls. At first, I let the items sit while we mentioned them to friends, hoping we might somehow luck into a taker.

而亚历杭德罗却一口否决了在Craigslist上卖旧物的想法，他争辩说不想让陌生人到家里来，而且跟刊登广告和接答电话的工作付出相比，卖东西的所得太少了。一开始，我依了他，就将物品闲置在家里，但向朋友们宣传了旧物出售的消息，希望就这样靠运气，没准儿会寻来买家。

Finally, I decided this was silly: I knew selling them on Craigslist was the right thing to do, and I was willing to do the work of vetting calls and receiving customers. A week later, our garage was empty and we were a few hundred dollars richer. Alejandro can hardly remember why he didn't like the Craigslist idea and is happy to have been overruled.

但最终，我觉得这种方式太愚蠢了：我知道把它们放在Craigslist上出售才是正确的事情，我也愿意去做筛选来电和接待买家的工作。一周以后，车库就被清空了，我们的手头也多出了几百美金。现在，亚历杭德罗很难想起自己当初为什么不喜欢在Craigslist上卖东西的主意，他也乐于接受自身建议被否决的事实。

And, oddly enough, that's how I feel about the house paint and some other decisions that my beloved temporary dictator has unilaterally imposed.
