Don't get too excited.
The ad has been flagged for removal. :-/

Anybody else come across some quality ads on there?
Feel free to post them if you do.

 Haha. :D I came across this site yesterday: http://craigslisting.tumblr.com. I haven't really read that much into it, but apparently the guy goes around to different listings and has a little fun with it.
I found this one fairly amusing: http://craigslisting.tumblr.com/post/82937454/cornucopia-hat :P

 This one isn't terribly amusing, but I posted it myself, and it has a funny pic of a cute kitteh...

Deleted User wonders how long it will take for some tool to flag it

I just posted a garage sale ad on there. I'll make sure I include the correct tense ;)

 Much appreciated, Brian. :wub:

It's not a bid deal, obviously, and that site is absolutely riddled with poor grammar, poor or no punctuation, misspelling, SHOUTING, and just incomprehensible, incoherent jibberish, because people either just don't care or are not very bright or English isn't their best language, but when you see professional companies doing it, it's a little disheartening.
And you know me.. always trying to be helpful.

My ad got flagged within about 15 minutes though.
Probably just by the jerks who sit around waiting to flag anything they don't like, but apparently it was technically misplaced because advice isn't a "tangible" physical product and should have been in the Rants and Raves section of the forums instead, but nobody goes there except losers looking for fights and terminally bored people, so.. whatever.
Maybe at least one person learned something from it though. :D

Were the stuff on the site Loona found real items, or just photoshopped?

 I don't know.
I assumed they were real.
There's some weird and funny stuff on there sometimes.

 Probably a mixture. I'm sure plenty of people post random things, but others are actually posting real things.

 Indeed.
That underwear ad could have been real.
We'll never know..

I've seen boxers at second-hand stores.
Always made me wonder.. :D :ermm:

 I'm pretty sure Clinton got some press for donating and taking a deduction off of his used briefs.

Geo metro
Date: 2008-01-21, 12:58AM PST


1994 Geo metro - Windshield cracked. Door hinges missing on drivers side - door falls off when handle pulled and must be "placed" back on to close. Passenger side door will not open at all, probably for humanitarian reasons. Muffler fell off, now in back seat but you wont notice the noise because the shame will be deafening. Car would overheat if engine would stay running long enough but mercifully, it will not. Steering wheel loose and missing mounting nut. Front right brake rotor damaged when wheel fell off while driving. Many dents(several from my foot), scrapes, rust and holes here and there. Radio has "William Shatner Christmas carols" cassette tape stuck in deck, enjoy. Radio catches on fire at random. Minor smoke damage from radio and other misc. electrical fires though not on headliner as it caught fire as well and was thrown from vehicle. Front bumper fell off (I left it). Brakes squeak,wheels squeak, wipers squeak, everything squeaks and/or is broken. Headlights blink on and off, turn signals do not. Drivers seat mounting rails broken off in back, brick under seat. "New car smell" has given way to "old rat decomp". Stains on upholstery are primarily not urine related. Engine has original horsepower (both) and few of the critical parts have fallen totally off. Rust holes in floorboards covered with tattered garbage bags and duck tape scoop up exhaust fumes from missing muffler. Car will not make it, must tow (preferably on a trailer with a solid deck and sides to avoid leaving a trail of parts behind as they fall off during your trip). thanks-Jumpinjoe
