Tonight's Tulsa Craigslist

[hippywife]

The list in our area is usually just chock full of really weird stuff and ad text, so I thought I might start a semi-regular thread for your amusement. I only haunt the For Sale listings, so that's what we're gonna have!



First, there's the piece of furniture no home should be without! :rofl:

Then, there was this little gem. This was actually from last night but it was so incredibly stupid, I had to do a screen print and share, coz you know it wasn't going to be up there long. And it wasn't! :eyes:




Got anything weird for sale on your area list? Sure ya do! LOL

[hippywife]

1. Okay...

maybe these aren't as funny as I thought. :shrug:

How about some loverly furniture? Whoever thought this was attractive? :puke:

3. I tried posting Freecycle offerings and wants a while back

but it dropped like a rock.

The craziest was "Living room couch. Good condition. Small .38 caliber gunshot hole in back." :wtf: Would someone really knock on that guy's door?

[hippywife]

4. OMG!

:wow:

But oddly enough, there are probably people who would. :hi:

[suninvited]

16. I love freecycle.

I have never answered an ad, but if you think it is funny where you are, you should try getting it in a very rural area.

They are giving away torn underwear over here, and used cat litter, I swear.

[hippywife]

18. I live in rural OK

so you can pretty much guess what it's like around here. Some one once posted a pedal stool sink. No lie. We have lots of rod iron and rot iron items, and dinning room sets. Tons of things I can't even remember at the moment.

[suninvited]

23. no kidding?

I am in north central rural texas. A lot of the ads I see are from OK. I saw a free tractor tire once. That needed work.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Ours is mostly "wants" from people who look at it as virtual Santa Claus...

Some recent Wants:

A laptop, must be XP or higher
A car, not picky, must run well, get good gas mileage, non smoker please
A house, I might be able to pay a little something in a year or so...
Pop up trailer, must be in good condition with no tears. We have a small infant so please don't be a smoker.

People are nuts but, as my father said, it's worth a shot, really. :eyes:

[hippywife]

20. They do get a little

specific and high-maintenance with some of those requests. Why is it there's always a bunch of people who always screw up a really great idea?

[jobycom]

24. Yeah, laugh, but my laptop works just fine in my new pop up trailer, thank you.

Bastards wouldn't give me a house, though.

[rug]

2. Here's one from a must-win state.

5. Do you think

he misses his job? :scared:

[Robb]

11. Tha's actually quite common out here in the West

...Just about everyone I know in the trades has done some work, at some point, to get to hunt on some big ranch or other.

[hippywife]

13. Dude...

I live in rural Oklahoma! Just because it's "normal" for an area doesn't make me like guys that get their kicks from going around killin' stuff, ya know? :hi:

[Robb]

27. Well,

...cost-effective winter eating. :shrug:

6. Radio station for sale in Grafton WV

http://morgantown.craigslist.org/bfs/795760975.html

I'm sure it's a "unique fixer upper" offer...

[hippywife]

8. If I had that kinda money

I might consider it. One of the best radio stations over that way started up in a beat up trailer in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. I like to listen to it once in awhile for their Americana Mix programming.

7. Why is the Kalishnikov a weird thing?

[hippywife]

9. Well, first...

weapon sales are strictly forbidden on craigslist, and second, I would think it would also be illegal, as far as I know. I could be wrong.

[EstimatedProphet]

26. I didn't know they were illegal on Craigslist

However, the gun that was posted is the semi-auto version of the AK, and is legal in the US.

[benEzra]

29. No, it's perfectly legal. It's a non-automatic civilian rifle, not an actual military AK.

Does violate Craiglists' no-weapons-of-any-type policy, though.

[hippywife]

12. USE YOUR MIND!

What an ironic statement, considering! :rofl:

That's a good one, johnnie! :hi:

[johnnie]

14. I like..

OR EVEN PUT ABUNCH OF MILK CRATES TOGETHER,,FROM GIANT EAGLE

Giant Eagle is a supermarket chain here. Just the fact that only Giant Eagle milk crates will do..lol

[hippywife]

15. True!

Now I think if you could find some from Big Bear, it would give it that vintage touch that would bring in so much more money! LOL

[hippywife]

17. Now this...this...

is a masterpiece! LOL

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. It looks pained alright.

It surely does.

[Blue Diadem]

25. Fearie?

It is kinda frightening. :rofl:

[Fenris]

21. "Probably dates back to the 70's era"

Someone call Antiques Roadshow! A real piece of Claremore history!

[benEzra]

28. They used to sell those Norinco non-automatic AK lookalikes at Wal-Mart back in the late 1980's.

I am still kicking myself for not buying one (the pre-1992 ones appreciated quite a bit after Bush the Elder put the kibosh on them, at the urging of William J. Bennett).

As I recall, the price was between $200 and $300 at the time. Even $300 to $1200 is a pretty decent return on an investment.

FWIW, that's not a real AK-47, just a civilian carbine based on the design.
