Chuckles from Craig's List

I've seen some of those ads: "Good, Running 4X4 Truck. Includes trailer hitch and wench."

Good one Farmer!

Well, this one is up in the Dallas Farm/Garden section right now and is pretty funny. I really hate to make fun of these folks because they are probably hard working and have a valid item for sale, but I just can't read one of these without grinning a bit.

"CJ is a proven Cowboy Mounted Shooting Horse. I broke him as a late 2. He took me to the CMSA World as a 3 in Nov. of 08. This horse is intense. You have his attion at all times.He is not concern with what is going on arround him his concern is what you are asking of him. He needs a rider that rides with their legs, seat,and a lite hand.With out a doubt this horse can and will do any disaplin you ask of him. He has for me. I have used him to sort cattle, shoot ballons, a week long trailride in the ozark mt.,ponyed colts. You name it he does it and does it well. As long as he has a job he is happy.
You will love the way he responds with the slightist of effert on your part. He is a dream to ride.
The reason I am selling him is I am a trainer, I have put many hours on him and I have a new project. CJ will be missed but needs someone to injoy him like I have."​

Hope you "injoy" readin' that.

I bought my New Idea 323 one row corn picker off Craig's List. Bought it within 2 hours of it being listed. The guy told me he had almost 25 calls between me buying it on Monday and going to get it on Friday. We drove 500 miles one way to pick it up. He was in St. Louis, Missouri and I am in Birmingham, AL

I sold a great deal of last fall's pumpkin crop on Craig's list. I'm not just talking about 1 or 2. One guy bought a trailer load (100 large pumpkins) and another wanted 4500 for a "pumpkin patch".

I usually check it daily.

I like Search Tempest - The EASY way to search Craigslist! . Makes it a lot easier to search by distance from your location.

That ad is actually almost coherent. I see a lot that are even worse than that.

CJ does sound like a heck of a horse.

Perhaps that was the girl friend that Dallas_Lilly referred to?

All kidding aside, I sold my dually on Craigslist within a couple of days of listing for an excellent price. My only recommendation for anyone selling would be to set up an alternate email account to use.

If that's a deal, I wonder how much the guy paid for it.

Maybe that's the mixed, poured, and finished price.

So how much did you pay him, JB?

And did it include shipping?

I just saw that today there's an ad for "Christmas Declarations". Apparently there are 100's of them.

That one is funny. It sounds like some college kid on a dare.

I love Craigslist. Got one of my tractor's free off of Craigslist.
A gentleman here had one that had been sitting probably for 15-20 years and told me it wouldn't move. Went in a got the emergency brakes unstuck and VOILA! Great running Satoh Buck for the right price.

I bought our stock trailer off Craigs List. I responded pretty quick to the add and went the next day to look at it and brought it home. Funny thing was, I live in Chillicothe, it was in Athens - about 50 miles to the East. Then about a month later we bought some furniture from the North side of Columbus, about 60 miles from Chillicothe, I took the stock trailer to go get it. I stopped at a store and a guy came running out asking if I wanted to sell it. I said no, but he asked how long I had had it and such. He said he saw it on Craigslist and e-mailed the guy but the guy told him that he had someone coming to look at it, but if he didn't take it he would call him. Guess he didn't get the call since I took it with me.
