    PAPA-JOHN Chair-$30- OBO – $30


    FOR SALE…..”.Papa John / Pier 1 type chair”…….just the frame…….maybe from the 90’s….but still sturdy and in decent shape….a spray paint job could make it a cool color……all it needs is the cushion…which can be found online or import-type stores…..must be local and willing to pick up…..$30-OBO !!!! ……

    Ashley sends this one in, saying, “Umm, I’m confused. Must be willing to pick up’? I thought Papa John’s delivered!  Also, $30 and no toppings? No thank you.”

    So this person knows that this type of chair is available at Pier 1, yet can’t be bothered to go to Pier 1’s website (which is confusingly named www.pier1.com, so I can see where that would be a problem) to check the spelling of papasan. Really? Papa John chair? This has to be the only person in the world who could possibly make that kind of mistake. Right?

  • YSaC, Vol. 270: If it’s old, it must be valuable, right?

    Antique Buffet (very old) – $1100


    This buffet is very old, How I know, because my Aunt who owned it (at one time) was very old before she passed. Best offer and it is yours. No worries… she told me to sell it…. 😉

    Professor: “Good morning, class, and welcome to Logic 101. Today, we’re going to study the logical fallacy known as cum hoc ergo propter hoc. Who can tell me what’s wrong with this statement?

         My aunt is old.
         My aunt owned this buffet.
         Therefore, this buffet is old."

    Snowflake K. Student: “Um ….. my aunt isn’t old anymore because she’s dead?”
    Professor: “Not exactly. Anyone else?”
    Precious B. Student: “If it’s your aunt’s buffet you don’t have permission to sell it?”
    Professor: *heavy sigh* “Try again.”
    Design R. Student: “Ooooh, I know! The buffet is ugly, the support beam is broken, and there’s no way it’s worth $1000?”
    Professor: “I give up. I’m going to go outside and yell at squirrels for a while.”

  • YSaC, Vol. 269: Why can’t I sell my car? (Parts A and B) …

    You gotta work for this one a little bit, like the covergirl you are …

    89 honda civix – $1000


    good running car call 682-53-xxxx

    Okay, the x is right next to the c on the keyboard. That’s a small mistake. There were, as far as I can tell from the Kelley Blue Book, eleven models of Civics manufactured in 1989 (and no models of Civix), so the lack of detail about which one is for sale here is somewhat of a problem. Not to mention that there’s no mention of trim packages, transmission, air conditioning, mileage, accident history, etc. Again, somewhat of an impediment to selling the car.

    But the biggest problem is that this person appears to have posted his social security number instead of his phone number. I re-checked the ad a couple of days later, and it was still like that. Sigh.

    [Yes, I’m aware they probably just missed a digit of the phone number. It still doesn’t help people who want to call about the car, does it? I can type those nine numbers into my Team Mobile phone all I want to, but it’s not going to accomplish anything other than irritating Catherine Zeta-Jones. On second thought, that might be worth it.]

    Even when people DO post the right details, there can still be problems:

    FRENCH PREVENTIAL FURNITURE


    About 6 months ago i bought a Beautiful french prevential 3 piece living room set, hardly sat on, tags r still on… but now i need to sell the set, so serious callers only please… 🙂
    ask for elizabeth, xxx xxx xxxx, also matching marble tables n capidimonte lamps from italy

    ;0

    I guess if you’re going to have French Prevential furniture, you have to have ‘capidimonte‘ lamps to go with it. Because it’s not classy otherwise. (Okay, full disclosure: no, I didn’t know what a capodimonte lamp was either, but I knew enough to look it up!

    You know what else is classy? Leaving the tags on your furniture for six months. Minnie Pearl would be proud.
