  • YSaC, Vol. VIII

    iPod Touch 8GB Brand new – $250

    Brand new in box, iPod Touch 8GB music/video/wifi player.

    I bought this from an Apple store. Only a small part of the back of the box has been peeled for the UPC used to send for a rebate. Otherwise, box is still sealed, unopened, and unused. This is the version with the software updates (John Lennon on box).

    $250

    Wait, let me get this right: you’ve kept the UPC so you could send it in for the rebate? You mean the rebate Apple’s been offering where you get the full $300 purchase price of the iPod Touch back? So you’re going to get the rebate AND you’re trying to sell it on Craigslist for $250? Wow, slimy.

  • YSaC, Vol. VII

    coronet – $150

    used one year

    That’s it. No other information, no pictures, nothing. Hmmm, to what could this be referring?

  • YSaC, Vol. VI

    Flower Chair – $15

    This is a great little chair. Its in very good condition. Asking $15

    I think some of the extra floral pattern on the chair escaped to the wallpaper.

  • YSaC, Vol. V

    VINTAGE LOVESEAT – $10

    There’s actually nothing wrong with the listing for this one; I just wanted to say “Ow! My eyes!” In fact, I think I might start a tag for “Ow! My eyes!”.

    If I were that vacuum cleaner, I’d hide from that couch too.

  • You suck at Craigslist, Vol. IV

    wii fit – $75

    Date: 2008-08-20, 11:56AM EDT

    You are bidding on a Wii Fit and Wii Balance Board. This is for the Nintendo Wii and includes over 40 fun exercise activities. This is Adult Owned and only used a couple of times. If you are having trouble finding one like most people, look no further. Feel Free to contact me with any questions.

    Bidding on, you say? So the price in the title is just a random number you threw in there?

    In the last three days, someone has posted the same hideous “lion and giraffe” pictures three times, with increasing hilarity.
