  • YSaC, Vol. 1729: Send me an Angle.

    Beany Baby, Princess Diane – $80

    Princess Diane Beany Baby, Valued at $1`49.00, Selling for $80.00.

    Princess, Like an angle she came from heaven above. She shared her compassion, her pain, her love. She only stayed with us long enough to teach the worlf to share, to give, to reach.

    Intrigued, I went and looked into what Princess Diane Beanie Babies are actually selling for. Turns out there are people actually asking hundreds of thousands of dollars for these things on eBay. Sadly, they’re only worth about ten bucks. There goes THAT retirement plan. I guess I’ll have to go back to trying to teach the worlf to share, and keep it company.

    Thanks for the post, Maggie!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1728: Free as a bird now. (Was $10)

    So many free things today! Look at all this free stuff!

    television an shoe shelves


    condition: good size / dimensions: 26
    Good Panasonic TV bought in about 1999 works good and a shelving thing holds lots of shoes you must take both they free

    That’s right. If you want the shoe rack, you MUST take the TV. And vice versa. But I’m going to go further. I’m going to insist you ALSO take this desk:

    Free Office Desk – no drawer model

    We have an office desk for free that used to be used in our office. This desk has been used in our office and is now being given away, we use cubicles now.

    First one here get it free!

    Call us to get this…

    I know what you’re thinking – Why should I have to take this desk, just to get the shoe rack, when I have no idea whatsoever where it has been used? Well, tough. And bring a truck, because you’re also getting:

    FREE–FREE LEFT OVER XMAS TREES FOR BOND FIRES

    LOCATED AT [Location] IS OVER 500 LEFTOVER

    What’s that you say? You don’t NEED 500 Xmas trees in July? Stow it, Sparky! You’re taking them. And just to top it off, we’re going to stuff this down the back of your shirt.

    Free free


    Free

    Whatever it is.

    Serves you right for wanting something for nothing.

    Thanks for the free labor, Jason, Ralph and sd!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1725: I wish that I had chassis girl.

    Trailer chassis


    Giving away a metal trailer chassis that is probably 14 feet long.

    Just need it removed from the property as soon as possible.

    It’s probably fourteen feet long. And I’m pretty sure it’s a trailer chassis. Maybe? It’s back that way somewhere, although it might be off to the left a bit. Actually, now that I think about it, it might also be a hay rake. Or possibly some sort of trebuchet. But I definitely want it gone. Whatever it is.

    Thanks for the post, Ralph!

    mummified mole rat

    It is scary ready for holloween tex me xxx xxxxxxx

    You know, this IS very scary, especially since that’s probably not actually a mole rat (you know, since they’re indigenous to Africa and Eurasia and not especially good pets), and is more likely their kid’s guinea pig that got trapped in what appears to be a stuffed animal hoarding situation behind it. Based on the look on this poor critter’s face, it wasn’t a pleasant death, either.

    The other scary thing about this is that since Craigslist has started mapping street addresses within ads, we can see that the person who thought it would be okay to sell the dessicated corpse of a former family pet as a prop for Halloween happens to live across the street from a large school. If children go missing, I think the police should start in the pile of stuffed animals in this person’s garage.

    Thanks, Andy!
