    RARE Vintage Albertsons Albertson’s Plastic Bakery Bread Bag – $20

    RARE vintage Albertsons Albertson’s plastic bakery bread freezer bag. Roughly 4″ x 12″. Used condition. I could not find another one anywhere on the Internet. These were meant to be thrown away, so to find one is rare. See pictures for condition and style.


    Hey Sparky, I’ve got a tip for you: “meant to be thrown away” means “meant to be thrown away.”

    Just so you know.

    Thanks for the post, OMV!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1764: I’m too sexy for correct spelling

    Sexy woman at western [state] fair pink shirt – m4w

    I seen u u smiled I asked how u was doing u walked off and I seen u look back while I was checking u out.im bald white guy with a green shirt on … Probably a long shot but u was very sexy so worth a shot… If this was u hit me up and tell me what I was doing when I seen u

    So what do we think Mr. Clean here was doing when he seen her?

    • Picking fried butter out of his teeth?
    • Trying to pry off the GPS anklet?
    • Attempting to secure his party’s 2016 presidential nomination?
    • Yoga?

    What do you think?

    (Thanks for the post, OMV!)

  • YSaC, Vol. 1763: I think I’ll try door number 2

    Moving Need Gone ASAP



    I’m moving and have a lot of nice thing not going with me. I have no time for a yard sale, you won’t be dissapointed. Must be able to take it all.

    This is that “bundling” I’ve heard so much about, isn’t it? I come for the (almost certainly) empty Wii U box, and you upsell me on the pogo stick, the bookshelves, the shopping bags, the folding chair, and your brother-in-law. Oh, well – as long as I can take the truck too, I suspect I’ve still come out ahead in the deal. I can probably even use it to haul all the other crap away.

    Thanks to Manic Gypsy for their very first submission!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1758: Like whining for chocolate

    Since Mackenzie sent our first two posts this week, let’s go for a trifecta: (That’s Latin for “three fectas”!)

    Searching For A Job Needing Help Without A Boss That…… (All Over)

    IM LOOKING FOR A JOB THAT IS IN NEED OF HELP. BUT I AM NOT LOOKING FOR WORK THAT HAS A BOSS WHO IS A TOTAL JACK-ASS HIPACRITE!!!!!!! A BOSS WHO ISNT A WHINER, CRY-BABY, OR A PUSSY BOSS, WHO QUIET FRANKLY ACTS LIKE A LITTLE BITCH, OR NEEDS AND WANTS MORE THAN A KID WANTING CHOCOLATE. IF YOU ARE A BOSS THAT FITS THIS SUBJECT THEN DO NOT REPLY. I DO TALK ON THE PHONE, TEXT, AND SMOKE. BUT I GET MY WORK AND TASKS DONE.

    This person meets ALMOST all of the criteria I have for a potential employee:

    • They smoke.
    • They text and talk on the phone while on the job.
    • They have no idea how to turn off caps lock…
    • …or when to stop using exclamation points.
    • They can’t spell “Hypocrite.”

    That pretty much summarizes my ideal employee right there. Sadly, I also need someone who lives in (everywhere) rather than (All Over), so I guess I’ll be looking elsewhere.

    Thanks for the week, Mackenzie! Next week, you can drive the YSaC backhoe if you like!

    Price reduced – $1300

    You know what? Talk Like a Pirate Day isn’t until the 19th, and I don’t think this tub will actually last that long. And that’s if you just leave it in the driveway. If you actually put it in the same time zone as a body of water, I’m pretty sure it would actively explode.

    Thanks for the post, Terrance!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1749: Turns out $200 is your price for flight.

    Yesterday’s poster was selling all sorts of wacky stuff. Today’s poster? Not so much:

    Motor – $200

    condition: like new
    Robin

    Well, $200 is a pretty good deal. And there’s really only two types of motors, right?

    It could only be either this:

    or this:

    And either one of those seems like a steal for $200. Of course, my grasp of engineering may be a little fuzzy, but it’s still better than Robin’s grasp of Craigslist.

    Thanks for the link, sd!
