Ok, I’m ready to start posting some of the infamous “To the guy” ads on Craigslist.
Now I totally agree that some of the funniest posts of CL have started with “To the guy…”. Including my personal favorite of all time: “To the guy posting to sell the 6.6 HP Mercury. It’s a 9.9. You’re reading it upside down, dumb0ss.”
But this is serious. Has anyone else noticed that early spring (no, really, it IS early spring) brings out the lazy [censored] clowns on CL? The ones that can’t be bothered to take the cover off the freaking boat to take pictures to sell it?
To the guy…
1. Dude, I know you want to sell it, like, real bad. So could you at least peel back the rat-eaten old plastic tarp off the thing to shoot a decent picture? I know it would take 10 minutes and you don’t want to risk forcing into the street the 50 mice that have made your cherry fishin’ machine into their home, but ya know… I can only tell so much by looking at the pictures where you stuck your cell phone through a hole in the tarp and managed to get your fat fingers in the way in the process.
2. Please refrain from refering to extensive raccoon damage, blown engines, or burns caused by electrical fires as “easy fixes”. If they’re easy fixes, here’s a thought: During a commercial break of Judge Judy, drag your fat buttski off the couch, go out and just do that easy fix yourself.
3. Please be realistic about price and remember that just because you saw some guy trying to sell a 1974 Glastron tri-hull with a blown OMC drive for $10,000 on the net, it doesn’t mean that your 1974 dogsh!t brown Glastron tri-hull with a blown OMC drive is ACTUALLY worth $10k.
You can ask $50 for a steaming heap of dog crap, that doesn’t mean anyone will pay it.
Thank you for your cooperation in these matters.
