thebes Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Just to let all my friends here know that there are no hard feelings on my part. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. (I'm right, of course []). Just to loosen things up a bit, I've decided to add an ongoing thread similar to our world famous "Klipsch Spotters" . I don't know about he Craigslist nearest you, but mine is full of wonders, and hoots, the bizarre and the banal. Please keep in mind that I'm not after the latest audio find, just interesting or silly stuff you may come across. Also, since the ads are transitory, an excerpt (use "cut" and "paste" for those with minimum computer skills) will be handy. My first one happened this evening during my ongoing hunt for tubes: I am in need for some test tubes.These are the dimensions I prefer:Length: 5.75, 6.75 inches, OR longerWidth: 0.75 inch, or 1 inchName your price, but please make it reasonable.I need 10 or more if possible.If you have test tubes available, please let me know.I am an amateur myrmecologist and this has turned out to be a busy anting season for me. Queen ants are everywhere! How'd you like to have a hobby you can't even spell. At least audiophile is phonetic, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Blacksmith Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I think the add is asking for a micro motorcycle. I take this add along the lines of "hey I want a PS3 but only have $10, call me any time to pick up your unwanted console, oh by the way, it would be nice if you threw in the 30 games you just bought and I only want to bring home the latest hits so if you could buy those and give them to me also I would say thanks twice" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddy Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Had to laugh at this little gem. Recipie for Disaster - FOR FREE! (Perry, KS) Date: 2009-08-12, 3:13PM CDTReply to: sale-q6vwp-1319830568@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]What we have to offer is one very localized mess. We've come up with many great ways to spin the story, to market moreeffectively - and, sadly, in the end all we have is the truth. We have5 55-gallon drums full of some kind of unidentifiable blue waxy stuff.It is for certain: Waxy. It is also IN the drums. That is the sum totalof what we know about it. In addition we have a tire that had to havecaused somebody some grief when it blew, cuz it's allll the way blownout. But, it DOES have a rim. It may have gone on a Dodge pick-up. So,it's got that goin' for it.And, finally (as if all this weren't enough so far) we've got afridge. It stands upright and has a door on the top and door on thebottom. It's not quite white and not quite ecru. Surely it doesn't workor it wouldn't be hanging out with all the other stuff there. But, Isuppose it's not inconceivable that it might work. Should it come to pass that you don't have nearly enough trouble inyour life, and you'd like to take a beautiful little road trip out hereto Perry - we've got about one truck load of trouble and we're willingto let you have it. We probably won't help you load it though, so bringa strong back or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
