The Eclectic Mix

A compilation entry. From a couple weeks’ worth of classifieds…

And this one comes from the same person selling the over-stressed bird from a month or so ago.

Feather Dusters – For Rehab of Wildlife. We use these to make wild life such as ducklings feel safe.
Polly

Because nothing helps ducklings feel safer than sitting in a nice, dust-free environment with disembodied feathers from other species.

Chrysler Book – Hardcover book “Behind the Wheel at Chrysler: The Iacocca Legacy” 354 pages, nice condition. $10.

Yes! Read about what happened in their bankruptcy the last time…

Moroso Deep Oil Pan Passenger side dipstick $100.00

Who are you calling a passenger side dipstick? I resent that remark.

VHS Cassette Movie The Hunt for Red October, starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, never opened, never viewed, $5

So let me get this straight…You’ve owned a movie for probably 20 years, never opened it, and now you’re trying to sell it? Does anyone besides me own a VCR any more?

Baby Boppy Perfect for baby. Gently used. Pic available.  Asking $8.

Perfect for baby because it’s just too damned small for adults.

1999 Pontiac Grand Am Great back-to-school car. 4-doors. Smooth-running V6. Newer tires/brakes. 135+k miles. $2k obo.

Every good back to school car needs 4 doors. It’s the ones missing a door that should make you wonder.

Preschool/School Age Opening-Opening this fall for preschool/school age, several other [company] parents (plus my toddler), call for details

Wow. Child care for parents! What an idea. I’d love to be somewhere all day that feeds me, lets me play, and makes me take a nap.

Well, there you go. More later when I have enough to make a post.

Yes, kids, it’s been a while. So let’s dive in, shall we?

Amish End Tables & Plasma TV Cabinet – Custom LR Oak Furniture: 3 End tables $200/ table, 18″x24″x22″, small drawer in base. Plasma TV Cabinet: $700 54″W x 22″ D x 30″ H, middle storage drawer for CDs/DVDs, side cabinets w/glass doors

My only question is this: how do the Amish know how to design a Plasma TV cabinet?

Cockatiel – This bird is said to be hand tame but is stressed out by shelter life so doesn’t act like it. $20.00 donation includes cage.
Polly – xxx-xxx-xxxx

Yes, the stressed out bird is being sold by someone named Polly. What she fails to mention in the ad is that it chain-smokes, swears occasionally, has jitters, is molting like nobody’s business, and paces back and forth on the perch constantly.

Smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em!

Of course, the week I decide to dump this and try writing every day is the week it springs a gem:

0-3 Month Boy 20 Piece Lot – Email me for the itemized list. Not selling individual pieces. $50 OBO
Stacia

No matter how you slice this one (pardon the pun), it’s just bizarre. I mean, is this a lot of 20 0-3 month old boys? Or a 0-3 month old boy made up of 20 pieces? Either way, I’m glad she’s not selling individual pieces.

Yeah, I know. No classifieds for a couple of weeks. I’ve been busy, and last week, out of the office, so nothing to report on…Not like there was anything good, anyway.

But I’m back to work this week, so let’s see if there are any pearls this time.

Christmas tree – 7′ artificial Christmas Tree. Not pre-lit. In heave green tote with wheels $50 Please call 612 384-6299 or 612 414-6098
Cheryl – 612.xxx.xxxx

“In heave green tote,” so it’s easier to throw?

DVD’ S – DISNEY,ACTION,COMEDY,WESTERNS,HORROR,DRAMA,LOVE STORIES,CARTOONS,GANGSTER,MARTAIL ARTS box sets,seasons,many unopened,others like new adult owned over 1000/movies-shows $5000.00 for ALL
mitch – 763-xxx-xxxx

How does someone buy almost 1000 DVDs and not open many of them? But really, I’m looking forward to the martail arts sets.

Okay, you know I’m reaching if these two are the highlights, but hopefully it’ll pick up soon.

See you next time!

Okay, well…The last 2 weeks worth of the classifieds have really sucked. Maybe they’re on to me…

I mean, I’m to the point where I’m thinking about placing a bogus one just so that I’ve got something to write about…So, let’s see what there is:

Saddle – Crates 16″ saddle, great condition, medium oil, quarter horse bars, enough silver to be a show saddle. $450
Stephanie – 763-xxx-xxxx

Or, enough silver to melt down and turn into something else?

Transforming Debt into Personal Wealth System – Auth: John Cummuta/Get completely out of debt incl’ing mortgage.Oper w/100% cash & never need crdt again.Proven sys advertised on WCCO 4 real financial independence. Orig price $350/Sell @ $250 or BO
Diane – 763-xxx-xxxx

I don’t think reselling this was quite what they had in mind in the system to create wealth.
Well, that seems to be it for this time. Hopefully we’ll have some more gems next week!
