Notable quotables

[kneedownnate]

I come across these in craigslist and ebay ads all the time and thought I may as well start a thread to both share my finds and read those that others find.

In reference to an old homlite chainsaw:  I hate to let it go but my hands fall asleep - It will start on first pull almost always sometimes

Post up what you find

Not so much a notable quotable, but this is from a craigslist ad for an estate sale.  I have to wonder what people are thinking when they write and post something like this that's so hard to be easily read

I got this in regards to a weight bench I am GIVING away.  Its in the FREE section of CL.  No weights, just the bench, and its a cheapy one.

Hey,

     I saw your for sale ad on CL and thought
you might try to sell that over on eBay:

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335830673&toolid=10001&customid=sellmaster&ext=weight%2C+bench%2C+&satitle=weight%2C+bench%2C+

I'd probably post it somewhere around this category

I live around reno too so I figured I would try to help ya
Good luck with your sale.




Chances are, if I have it in the FREE section, and in my ad it says something along the lines of, I don't want it, come get it.  I prolly don't care about selling it. 


shoulda saved the 5-6 emails I got asking what brand, what weights come with it, how many bars, how many lbs of weights, etc.

My ad, for reference:

You:    "Hey! You want some turpintine for your ankles?"
Sissy:  "No, why?
You:    " That'll keep the ants from eating your candy ass."

Nice    It never ceases to amaze me how few people actually read the ad they're replying to.  I listed some gears on craigslist the other day.  The first damn word in the ad is NEW in all capitals, then I say they're new in the first sentence and I STILL had a guy email me and ask if they were new!

Title:  NEW Toyota 4.88 gears for 8" axles (Redding)

body:  I have 2 sets of new, never used 4.88 gears for toyota 8" third members. One set is superior and the other is sierra, both sets still in the boxes. No install kits. Each set was about $160 plus shipping.

I'll take $280 for both sets and can accept paypal if needed. I'll also consider trading for a good set of 31-33" tall tires for 15" wheels, mud terrain or agressive tread preferred. If you have tires you'd be willing to trade, please email me with GOOD quality pics of the tires, making sure to show the tread.

From an ad for a baja bug with a 911 engine:

Supper fast!!Will do whillies

[kneedownnate]

Another craigslist ad:  Im selling two quads. The first is a 1991 honda trx 250. runs good but not running at the moment.

[kneedownnate]

Another craigslist ad:  We are aware of the pig problem and how distractive they can be to your ranch and farms, so give us 4 very safe, sober and very respectful of your property retired friends a place to hunt and we will give you 1/2 of the kill cut and raped and thank you for your look at this page.

[joey0712]

Ha ha sober?? Ha not when he was typing that post hahahaha

[82juguete]

Cut and raped?  They're doing it in the wrong order haha

[85_4RNR]

ill post a good one later. my communist school has craigslist blocked

[junya92toy]

I was watching tv on a old old 27 inch screen. A ad for HD tv came on, and they showed 2 tvs in the ad. One HD and one non HD. The ad then said, look at how better a picture the HD tv is then the regular old tv.......

love it

It's so annoying when people say this "It has 135K actual miles on it."

Really? 135k actual miles? As apposed to 135k fake miles? lol

[kneedownnate]

Cut and raped?  They're doing it in the wrong order haha

At least somebody got it    I emailed the guy and said he may get more offers if he didn't propose raping the pigs for the owners

What's worse is when some tool has a hammered on rig without a million mile odometer and says it has 35,000 original miles.  Really?  I could lie to people and say my 4by only has 20,000ish miles, but in reality it's rolled over 5 times!

benefit of the doubt man! maybe they bought it from the guy that rolled it over for the second time and put 10k on it. lol

Yea thats probably not a huge selling point for landowners... I'll give you half the kill but only the front half 'cuz i aint done with the hind-quarters lol!

keepin with the craigslist theme...i remember a 4runner on there with the classic line... "good looking from 15 feet away."  .........works for cars and girls too sometimes.
