The Best of Craigslist


Recommended Posts

I don't know about anybody else, but I love cruising around Craigslist just to find ridiculous crap that people are selling, offering, doing, or ranting about. 

 

For those of you not familiar, Craigslist is a sort of online marketplace where you can sell your wares, your skills, or even yourself. 

 

Here's a thread dedicated to the Best/Worst of Craigslist.

 

I'll start it off with something bizarre but safe for work.

Free 18' Sailboat

Quote

Free 18' Sailboat. Grandpa was a sailor, missed the open water and so he hired a crane to drop a sailboat in his swimming pool. Time to get the boat out. Free to anyone who can remove the boat without damaging the block wall or landscaping. Serious inquires only. No trailer, no boom, no sails or rigging. Rudder? Yes. Still free. Thank you.

One of my favorite types of posts on Craigslist are for incredibly expensive/tricked out offroad vehicles that have never seen dirt.  Here we have a few examples.

I love this next one. I found it today, and it exemplifies the "Dude, that looks awesome! I wanna do tha-oh look something else" type of people. 

 

I'm going to explain this one first. In this posting, you will see a mint condition full suspension mountain bike. You will also see tons of accessories, tools, riding gear, a full face helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, etc. The kind of kit meant for some pretty XTREMEtm riding. 

 

Here's what happened. This guy watched a cool video on Youtube about mountain biking. It got him very excited, so he decided to drop About $4,000 on just about everything that he was told he needed for some super cool riding. 

 

And then after a ride or two, he realized that riding bikes is hard and everything just sorta sat there. 

 

So now we have the "I have bad impulse control" craigslist posting.

The 18 footer might actually be a bargain even where you have to buy a trailer for it and hire a crane to get it out of the water. The value of the thing sitting at harbour is anything from $1500-$8000.

 

18 foot enclosed is a bit of a weird size though. It's just a hair longer than the dinghies I used to sail.

Thumb wrestling Partner - m4t

 

I need somebody to thumb wrestle. I love the sport and am very passionate about it. I have different stage names for my (left) thumb, but the most famous that you may have heard about (if you know the TW crowd) is El Chupa Thumbrah. he has a little mustache and I paint a red and green leotard on him for events. I am mostly looking for left handed partners to compete against and cheer on, but anyone with a caring and supportive demeanor and the grip of a teenage offshore drill hand is welcome.I also enjoy crocheting, shadow puppeteering and speed snapping to keep my fingers loose.

Honestly the interior is MINT and I'd buy this in a heartbeat just to stick a 5.3L LS in it.

Looking for Smash hater from 1991 WWF House Show

1
 
Dear sir,

You were at this show (which must have been of the last pre-Repo Man performances for Smash) in about 1991 or so; the main event was Ultimate Warrior vs The Undertaker... which roughly lines up with that years Summerslam and the WWF's then-habit of just recycling those main events for months after on house shows.

Anyway, Smash was on the card as a low midcarder, having seen the Demolition push completely destroyed by the arrival of LOD/Road Warriors. But, I was still a pretty big fan of Smash so when he came out, I wormed my way through to the aisle to get a good look at him. You sir, were obviously no fan of Smash and took it upon yourself to yell "Smash, you suck!"

Now, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but you did however, leave me in the lurch when Smash stopped his ring walk and approached the aisle to confront who he assumed had insulted him: Me.

You were clearly much older than me, as you had a loud adult voice. And I'm not sure why he thought a 12 year old could have yelled that powerfully, but who am I to judge. I'm willing to completely let bygones be bygones on this... I just need you to come clean to Smash and admit it was you and get me off the hook.

I now live in Philadelphia and Demolition is coming here to wrestle in what is probably a very small and depressing venue. If he recognizes me, there's a very strong chance he, like a tiger backed into a corner, feels he has nothing to lose and attacks me. I'm pretty sure he's an old man and I could probably take him PHYSICALLY, but mentally I would rather it not come to that.

I will do what I can to put you both in touch. I think it's time we all made our peace. Thank you.

Wanted woman who wants to conceive child during totality eclipse in OR

 
I am 40 years of age, caucasian male from Europe. My heritage is strong and pure.

My looks, instincts, knowledge and strength is 100% pure and 100% lethal.

I am looking for a worthy female with strong genes, beauty and smarts. To join me - to experience the totality eclipse in Oregon. 

Exact place not set. 

If we have chemistry, I would like for us to make love while the eclipse is happening. 

When totality occurs, we will have simultaneous orgasms and we will conceive a child that will be on the next level of human evolution.

We will make love together, with me and my penis directed towards the sun.
Everything will be aligned in the local universe.
Both of our cosmic orgasmic energy will be aligned with the planets. 

In a brief moment of ecstasy, we will understand everything, and together, create a new universe. Full of love...

You must like cats. Drugs are OK. Nitrous Oxide while we climax and experience totality and conception, is OK with me.

 

 

Do we have any members in Cali, and if so, will they please stop trying to have demon babies?

I'm not sure if this should go here for the Cars thread. Either works.

 Beautiful Italian Paperweight!

 

 

Don't need a 16k Paperweight? Of course you don't! How about an Italian money toilet!

Some of you may recognize this as a 2004 Maserati Coupe' (also known as the 4200 GT). Don't let that gorgeous Italian body fool you though, this car is Satan's chariot to Hell (or bankruptcy). 

I do not exaggerate when I say that this car has been in the shop HALF the time I have owned it. In the last 6 months, I have put ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS into it in parts and labor and the thing still isn't right.

I'm not rich. I'm just an average dude that always wanted a Maserati. Since I was a kid I lusted after those Italian curves and exhaust note. Now my own kids come to me and ask me why there's no food to eat and the electricity has been turned off and I have to tell them it's because Daddy's car is sick again.

This car has a new clutch, new clutch actuator, position sensor, F1 pump and relay, gear selector switch (a 2k SWITCH) new tie rods and new tires. It has the miraculous F1 transmission. As in if it works, it is a miracle. It is also seemingly inhabited by evil spirits.

The voodoo priests at the Maserati dealer insist it's fixed. But it's not. And I've seen their facility. There's no tools, just an altar to Alejandro DeTomaso where they place the still beating hearts and smoking wallets of Maserati owners and ask for a vision of what the @#$$ is wrong with their clients' cars.

Come take a look at it! It's Beautiful! It WILL let you down. You might think that since I poured so much money into it, that there must just be one more thing and then it will be perfect. You can drive it home and laugh at the poor slob that you bought it from who did all the work for you. Nope. Not gonna happen. This car will make you cry.

So why am I asking 16 grand for it? Good question. I'm taking a HUGE loss at that price and that's the lowest price I can let it go for and still be able to pay my mortgage. If that's too much, don't buy it. I don't blame you.

Come look at it! Bring a witch doctor and maybe, just maybe, if the stars are aligned just right you can drive it. DO NOT DRIVE IT. If you drive it, you will want it. It is fast. It is beautiful. It makes a sound like angels revving their angelmobiles. 

I want this thing out of my sight. I'm tired of sitting in it at night drinking and making engine noises with my mouth while I pretend it is not a huge pile of disappointment and debt.

Do not offer me 5k for it. The Trident badge alone makes it worth more than that. I don't have to sell it. It can sit in my garage and I can continue to hate it. I don't HAVE to sell it. I WANT to. There's a difference.
