Craigslist Fails

I, like everyone else on rs, am constantly searching CL for anything from furniture to vehicles to the free section to jobs to real estate. At least once a day I come across a TERRIBLE ad; whether is to poor grammar, bad pictures, random job requirements, or and ad that is just plain hilarious.

I thought that maybe I would start a thread where we could all post our ridiculous finds in the same fashion as the "cute animal" thread, "where to find" thread, and "no need to start a new thread" thread.

Happy sharing

Creepy wardrobe in the corner.

Here is a tip: if you are taking a pic of something you are trying to sell....don't make it look like you are trying to take a picture of a weird dude on the bus without him knowing.

I recommend screenshotting the ad and then posting because CL ads eventually expire/get removed =)

Slightly OT but this may be of interest.

E-mails from an Asshole

A guy trolling people's Craigslist ads. Gave me some good laughs during my work day.

unfortunately this ad is too long to screen shot but I'll spoiler just the text

The greatest Nissan Maxima of all time! Look no further!

Spoiler!

Tokina 11-16mm (Nikon) - $650

Tokina 11-16mm (Nikon) - $650
Hi there

I'm selling my Tokina 11-16mm. If you look at the lens, it looks totally brand new!

It's a great lens for those who like landscape or architectural photography!

The lens has 5 year warranty from Nikon Canada. It comes the box and the receipt and I added 2 filters of $55 value each.

I barely use the lens so it's time to sell it out. I jut realized that I don't really need that lens for the type of photography I do. I

Let me know if you are interested.

Thank you!
