Yes, but...that shrubbery was growing real close to a valuable black walnut! Worth thou$and$!!!! Valuable! Growing right next to it!!

That CL ad was barely worth the electrons used to post it, except for the yuks...the dude might have done it on purpose just to see if anyone would come and take it, more yuks! Like he bet a beer on it or something.
 
That guy's almost as AS infamous as the guy selling the McCinderblock (PM600 series) with the "gator" paint job.

I wonder how many people fall for that line of crap? Or better yet would be stupid enough to run a saw at 200 to 1. Bet he doesn't offer much of a warranty.

Remove this stump, get a new 50" LED TV
 
Cedar tree
"I have a 50 foot cedar tree that would make great wood for someone who makes cabinets, furniture, etc. It needs to be cut and everything removed and I would trade all that wood for a tiller or riding mower or maybe some other type of equipment. "

That better be a 50 foot circumference at the base if he thinks anyone could get useable wood out of it.

I'd send him a note saying "What other type of equipment do you have? I might be interested if you have a decent small tractor to trade, or maybe a skidsteer." :laugh:

The Ridley inet place sells those two cycle kits for a bicycle about $650. Pretty nicely made and machined brackets and AV mounts. Some really cool vintage looking motorcycles also.

Not sure if the rest of the 70's bicycle is worth the other $4100 though....
 
That one could be real easy, if I was local I'd grab it. Take a bunch of pics before I started the saw. The roof with the tree on it can't be more than 6 ft high. All you would have to do is back the truck/trailer up to it, cut, and load. Looks like fast easy wood to me. Just make sure you don't cut into the roof.

Where would u start your cut,at the base end or on top of the garage?:msp_confused:
 
I guess it was just that one word slip up that made me laugh.

FREE MALE TURKEY (FOR BREEDING OR AS A PET ONLY!!!) - $1 (NORWOOD)
free meal turkey. has been a pet for many years. i only want to depart from him because all my other turkeys have died out and he was the youngest one left (the only one that hatched in 2011 out of 4 eggs) i want him to go to a home where he can live out the rest of his life happy and free. i dont want him to end up on anyones table and i plan on making damn good sure that does not happen!!! he is free to a good home and i would like to check up on him from time to time and maybe come see him. i have a contract you can sign when you pick him up saying you will not be killing and eating him. maybe this sounds stupid to some but this is my pet. and i dont mind keeping him myself if i have too. any more questions feel free to ask THIS IS NOT THE TURKEY I HAVE IN THE PICTURE, I POSTED THIS PICTURE BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE

So if the "new Turkey" owner refuses to answer their door, get a restraining order or come out blasting like Gunsmoke what could he do?:hmm3grin2orange:

Deer Bone Tamohawk / Axe

Quoted from the ad:

Just a little tamohawk i put together with some random deer bones, just want to see if anyone is interested. Hanging in the Man Cave right now lol. The handle is wrapped with 20 feet of camo paracord with a wrist strap. It really is a cool item. This man toy is very sturdy as well. Great wall hanger for a hunter, survivalist, or just a cool conversation peice. Interested in any trade really, just shoot me an offer. I am not offended easily....lol
 
Gotta love Marines

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours, Semper fi,:flag:
 
I've seen that about a year ago here in Phila. It's a little different The pimps car wasn't mentioned. Still a good read. Thanks
