Does anybody else read the ads on that site for amusement like I do ?
I get a chuckle out of some of them. Here are some of them that were
on my local site over the last couple of weeks;
1. " To the person who responded to our ad and took away all that
scrap lumber from our driveway,Thanks, now my husband and I
have plenty of room to park our cars " PS, If you are the same
person that took our lawnmower,will you please return It ? "

2. **curb alert** 2 year old Irish setter
(doesn't curb alert mean set down for trash?) poor dog, I was
going to call them,but like all animal ads on there,It was flagged
for removal.

3. Free yardsale leftovers " We just had a yardsale and are too
worn out to clean up,everything in the yard is free,except the
tables, do not take the tables,the tables are ours,If you take
the tables we will call the cops."

4. White toilet (pic) I clicked on the picture, It was a toilet alright,
I saw pictures of one before,looks a lot more comfortable than
the empty paint can that I use. I think the guy just likes taking
pictures,probably wants to be a paparazzi.

5. Pet rabbit to good home, trained to use litterbox. ( I didn't know
you could train a rabbit to use a litterbox)

I also get a kick out of the ads for opened boxes of food.

Yeah i read those adds sometimes. It never ceases to amaze me what some people are willing to give away. Usually because they're too lazy to take it to the dump!)

iv'e never done that myself. Only thing Iv'e done on Craigslist was sell a few things. Never bought anything, nor have I ever got anything for free. I will be looking for free furniture when I get my own place though.
