Do you have luck finding \u00a0great deals on Craigslist? \u00a0I have found some great treasures like my huge, oak roll top desk<\/a> and some antique furniture <\/a>for incredible prices. \u00a0However, it does take some searching and the luck of good timing. \u00a0While browsing ads, you are bound to run into some ads that truly will have you scratching your head.<\/p>\n There are people selling things who cannot even bother to close a drawer or dust the top off a desk or dresser, take pictures of a mirror showing their shirtless selves in the background, think anything old is antique, vintage or worth a lot of money.<\/p>\n I want to share some recent “What the Heck?” moments with you and let me know if you have found some funnies in your neck of Craigslist. \u00a0Another brilliant ad are the ones that say something like “curb alert” or state that if this does not sell tody it will be on the curb tomorrow but the asking price is firm. \u00a0LOL, yes let me come pay you tonight instead of getting it off the curb tomorrow. \u00a0I am so amused that they are not budging on the price now but in less than 24 hours they don’t care to even get one dollar for it. \u00a0These had to be the ones who were at the top of their marketing class!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nEnjoy:<\/span><\/h3>\n
Fine old chair the ad states, just needs upholstering. I have no idea what could have caused those rips and I am telling you now be very wary if he says it is from a pet free home, but it’s yours for $75 much to the cat’s dismay.<\/span><\/h3>\n
Found an Antique Snuggle Bear in the Antique listings, was not aware the Snuggle Bear was a sought after item much less an antique! \u00a0$15 is the asking price for this heirloom!<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/h2>\n
Should I close the drawers and at least kick the mess away from the floor? \u00a0Nah, that is such a quality piece that people will not even notice.<\/span><\/h3>\n
Man in the mirror times 2!<\/span><\/h3>\n
They said it will be clean when you pick it up. \u00a0Eww, if you are going to clean it, how about wait until you do to list it for sale.<\/span><\/h3>\n
Felicity is an antique? I guess so since she is listed as an antique doll. \u00a0People should really look the word up and vintage, discontinued, collectible or old do not qualify everything as antique.<\/span><\/h3>\n
I myself would not classify this as Antique but apparently this man does along with “Highly Collectible” and for $30 he will even let you take some VHS tapes to go with it! \u00a0 \u00a0Hey better jump on this fast it only has minimal flaws!<\/span><\/h3>\n
ANTIQUE INDUSTRIAL REPRODUCTION DISTRESSED LARGE WALL CLOCK – $185 (sold by an antique store) \u00a0I know he says reproduction but he says, “sold by an antique store”. \u00a0He fails to mention he picked this up at Hobby Lobby on the bi weekly 50% off sale.<\/span><\/h3>\n
