    This was Lindsay’s very first submission to YSaC. She says she will be combing her local Craigslist for “Midwest stupidity.” Apparently there’s plenty of that to go around. I’m mystified by the pricing of the sofa — but even more mystified by the fact that the listing has since been modified to “sold pending pickup”! Someone actually bought that thing?

    Anyway, as we all know, I’m all about making connections for people … it’s just my giving nature. Read on to find out more:

  • YSaC, Vol. 253: Well, that’s a shock.

    Green Microfiber Sofa – $200

    Paid over $2400 new, but then my precious dog had an accident with the arm rest. Easy fix!
    $200 firm, no delivery

    248

    Don’t you hate it when your dog accidentally shreds the armrest of your couch? I mean, there he goes about his doggy day, doing his doggy thing, and then all of a sudden, he trips and completely shreds the upholstery.

    Luckily it’s an easy fix that just involves reupholstering the entire couch.

    I hope the dog doesn’t “accidentally” shred the electrical cords that the owners have so thoughtfully left out and exposed right near the dog bed. I mean, it’s not like the dog has ever chewed on anything before, right?

  • YSaC, Vol. 246: Is there a world record for simultaneous reclination?

    4 Recliner Curved Sofa

    Want to buy a curved 4 recliner sofa

    Is that a question, or a statement?

  • YSaC, Vol. 244: Also available in … ew.

    Free couch Cream

    Must pick up TODAY.

    Jennie sends this one, saying, “I can understand their urgency. Couch Cream expires so fast after you open it.”

    Hmmm, I wonder why that made me think of this one, sent in by Allison?

    Sofa cum bed – $225

    We bought a comfortable futon from Ikea about six months back. It is a beige color sofa cum bed and is in very good condition, just like new.

    Product Descriptions are given below –
    Key features
    Easy to keep clean with a removable,machine washable cover.
    Choose from three different mattresses and a variety of covers to create a combination that suits you – covers are still available in Ikea.
    Easily converts into a bed big enough for two.
    Extra covers are available for variation and renewal.
    Pliable mattress in high-resilient polyurethane foam and latex molds itself to the shape of your body; has extra long lifespan and is suitable for use every night.
    Mattress filled with high resilient polyurethane foam with a top layer of latex; follows the contours of your body and helps keep your backbone straight.
    Latex facilitates air circulation in the mattress and helps moisture to evaporate.

    We are selling it for $225.00. The same is available in Ikea for $350.00 + taxes = $375.00.

    If you are ineterested, please contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx. We can always reconsider the price.

    Can you reconsider the use of the word ‘cum‘? Yes, it means “along with” or “in addition to”, but really? Really? Did you not stop to think that if you’re advertising something that could be used as a couch or a bed, that using the word cum might not be the best choice?

    Because now I’m imagining … well, never mind what I’m imagining. But it’s sticky.
