Reply to: sale-vsxgs-1555888104@craigslist.org

This antique pullout sofa is in ok condition. It needs to be redone. It has black leather fabric on it. It will definitely need a new mattress. It measures 30 D x 58 W x 35 H. Make me an offer. Come take a look at it. Cash only. Call xxxxx or e-mail me back.

drumroll please for the pic of this relic

YUCK!

How about this! Who in their right mind would pay this much for a stuffed dog? Too bad there is not a photo. he might have a better chance of selling, but I don't think he will get what he wants for it anyway.

Here is a link that might be useful: VS dog

Especially since that dog is going for 5 bucks or so on ebay.

"words do not do it justice".

What would you say is the style of this furniture - Iberian Vampire-brothel?

Cabin Style furniture???? Who could pass that one up for just 700.00?

Found this while doing a Google for the Grand Cayman earthquake that happened this morning.

I have copied and pasted this 'add' because I don't think it will be up for too long. I am neither advocating or dispelling this statement, nor do i wish to start a debate on the subject. Just wanted to show you. ;) There is a photo in the link.

heed the warnings and signs people of whats going on. we are living in the last days. matthew 24 vs 7 says " for nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and EARTHQUAKES IN ONE PLACE AFTER ANOTHER. all these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. " then the people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. verse 12-and because of the increasing of lawlessness THE LOVE OF THE GREATER NUMBER WILL COOL OFF! verse 14-and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to the nations, and THEN THE END WILL COME!

I don't have the ad, but last week someone was selling a 'chester drawers'.LOL I took it upon myself to send him an email under the pretext if someone were looking for a 'chest of drawers' under search, his ad would not show up. I got an email back from him thanking me~thought for sure he would have gone off on me, but it was very nice email.

I couldn't help but laugh anyway. LOL

Budding Artist? you decide, better act quickly this one will someday be a collectors item. (this same person posted a papason chair for sale for like $30, that was seriously completely trashed and completely nasty looking, and stated in the ad that it had been "up under her trailer for a few years" but it was still usable" ya for rat bedding maybe, or firewood. Wish I had saved that one, it would have been perfect for this thread.

This one keeps popping up (haven't noticed whether price has changed). Just wondering, what does something like this go for in your area LOL?

Here is a link that might be useful: Spool table

Not as bad as "Anwar" but I just had to see what a "Pierre" mirror was - love the mirror, don't know a thing about the price, but it's too big and too $$$ for me!

http://hartford.craigslist.org/fuo/1564911146.html

(sorry, "useful" link not working)

Ah, the mirror is a 'pier' mirror...they just got carried away with a bit of French influence, perhaps. A pier mirror is a tall mirror usually hung between 2 windows. Antique ones often list for thousands, so that one may be priced right.

My3dogs - I figured they meant a "pier" mirror, I've seen them before (in magazines and a few IRL, not on CL). Just thought we were on a CL "foreign men's names" roll...my CL has been boring lately, this was the best I could do.

This could be a good price, but I have 8 ft ceilings. Not to mention not that kind of decorating budget!

Just what every household needs!

I know what you mean. My daughter is looking at the following.

OK, maybe I'm naive, but someone is selling 16 new flannel diapers for adults....for $340.00. In case the listing is pulled, here's the language:

"16 new adult cloth flannel diapers in size medium for 34"waist. 12 are plain white and the rest are brown bears as shown. This brown teddy bears design is now very difficult if not impossible to find to all you ABÂs that want something cute."

Am I missing something here? Or am I hopelessly naive in thinking perhaps the $340 is a typo for $34.00? And then I'm wondering why anyone would clothe an incontinent adult in fabric diapers and plastic over-pants. Hmmmmmmm.

Here is a link that might be useful: Teddy bear diapers for adults

I think the "AB" refers to "Adult Baby"....a somewhat unusual fetish.

Ewwww!

What is it with people selling paintings on my CL? This seller obviously never learned the difference b/t mythology and geography...

I know, you've probably all seen this on your local CLs but this is the first time I've seen it - beautiful chairs, and the seller spelled "toile" correctly...

Chewbacca "Chewie" is a very loving dog. He is almost a year old. We got him about a month ago and we love him. We just moved into a new house and the yard isn't finished, when he goes out, he comes in covered in red clay and it gets all over the house. It will be a few months before the yard is finished and my hubby said I need to find him a new home. He is great with kids, even little ones. He is very playful and sweet. There is a small rehoming fee to ensure he goes to a family that cares and to cover things we have bought that will come with him. Travel crate, food, shampoo, etc. $50
Price: Rehoming fee

Found this coffee table listed for sale. It's not 'Shabby Chic'. It's not "nautical". It's just junk. Listed price is $100!

Here is a link that might be useful: Coffee Table $100

That lobster trap coffee table brings back memories. We had one growing up. :)

Can I ask a question? I found a sectional that I am interested in on CL. It says Natuzzi. THere were no dimensions listed, and it just said North Jersey in the listing.

So I sent a note and asked some questions - Is it leather? What are the dimensions, and where is it located?

They sent back a phone number. Is it unreasonable to expect answers to your questions? Do you think this is a fake post?

I have only ever bought one thing on CL and it was a great purchase, so I don't have a lot of experience.

I really would like to get a sectional and have been soping CL for weeks and will continue to do so. I don't want to buy new at the moment.

Just came across this one that made me LOL.

Here is a link that might be useful: CL ad

*free hospital bed and organ*

"good hospital bed and organ with tubes whirlter come to 1576 n 116 th street apt apt 3 see tina on easter sunday both work good"

---------------

Yup, that was the ad.

No photos of the organ. I wonder if you get a choice to pick? Is this part of the new health care plan? Something like: Purchase an open heart surgery package and get a FREE hospital bed at our new hospital facility. We'll even toss in the transplant organ for FREE. Quantities limited. Offer expires. Limit one free organ per patient.

Here is a link that might be useful: the ad

*Stuffed Person*

"stuffed person"

That's all the ad said and no, these weren't posted on April Fool's Day either.
This one included a photo to show they were serious:

Act now. As we all know the 'good stuff' goes fast.

Here is a link that might be useful: ad

LOL, hospital bed and organ......it's a good to know that the organ "works good"!!

I just had to add this-
A real bargain at $3- if only I could figure out what they were thinking when they took the pic

Here is a link that might be useful: Only $3

This ad has popped up many times, always at the same price. To me, it looks like (badly) upholstered daybeds. It certainly doesn't look comfortable - or worth $1000.

Wow, boopadoo, the people selling that set got ripped off!

The least they could have done is to call it a Sekchonal.

Any guesses on (kauch(?

Here is a link that might be useful: kauch

When I typed and previewed, that was "kauch" with quotation marks.

Sometimes I have to look at a CL listing because I don't know what it is that they are selling...I wasnt sure what a "chita" couch was...

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/fuo/1715678940.html

LOL!! And now you know!!!! Or don't you??

I don't understand why people invent their own spellings like "kauch", when presumably they have seen the word "couch" hundreds, if not thousands of times! If they had taken a quick look at craigslist to get an idea of how much couches were selling for they would find the correct spelling.

And maybe the "chita" people belong to PETA and want everyone to know that no actual cheetahs were harmed in the making of their couches.

ajsmama,I guess that's a sekchon kauch.
Boop we bought our first brand new home for what they paid for their living room set.
Dilly, that wouldn't surprise me about the new health care plan. It's that scary to me.
