We know that the very best of Craigslist can be found in the furniture ads. Many YSAC memes started through a simple error in speeling. It gives me great delight to submit the following fun-filled furniture follies for a Friday.
Oriental – Hand Carved Rosewood – Table – $475 (TV)
FOR SALE :
ORIENTAL – (HALF – MOON ) …….ROSE WOOD TABLE …………BEAUTIFULLY – HAND CARVED ……. WITH PEARL INLAID……..
ONE OF A KIND………A MAGNIFICENT – COLLECTOR’S SHOW PIECE…………………..VERY UNIQUE………..VERY ORNATE.
A GUARANTEED – “CONVERSATION PIECE” …………….PERFECT CONDITION.
APPROXIMATELY :………….(HEIGHTH :……29 INCHES)…….(WIDTH :…… 28 INCHES)………….(DEPTH :…….12 INCHES ).
HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR.
ASKING : $ 495.00
Due / Spam………… Put in title bar :……….. T V moon table. Thanks.
I don’t think that table has been to the moon, and I don’t know why I would have any spam due.
duel recyling couch (Location) (no photo)
condition: good
Light brown dual recylining couch, works fine. 87′ in length. 3 back cushions come off for easy transport. Bring truck and screwdriver. At end of driveway, 1 North Rd, [Location] [State]
O. Kay. I wouldn’t mind a couch that did all the recycling for me. And I can bring the vodka and orange juice, no problem. How many paces does the couch get before it turns and recycles me?
Recliner chairs – $50
Recliner chairs in excellent working order, gray woven fabric, buy 2 at $50 each, or buy 1 only. Only 1 left. Purchased at LazyBoy.
What we have HERE is a FAILURE to COMMUNICATE.
(( Free Furniture ))
Free
You say it’s furniture, but obviously the chairs are seeking escape velocity and the other thing is a ghost.
Free one seater sofa
condition: excellent
Free sofa , good condition, please contact me at
I think there’s a better word for this. Chair. And between the title and the ad, Sparky downgraded it from excellent to good. I think he stopped too soon.
Thanks to Ralph, Ninja Chow, and One Moving Violation for these and many other submissions.
William Shatner is back on craigslist.

You would need a special tractor trailer combination vehicle with an over length permit to haul away that 87 foot long reclining couch.

“Sparky versus IKEA”
Sparky verses don’t make sense.

I think “Sparky verses” just means Sparky took poetic license with the words used in the ads.
And the pictures under ((free furniture)) actually belong in FURNITURE PORN category…….

I noticed that, too. But I’m not complaining. Who doesn’t like some hot chair-on-chair action?

I’m a little concerned that Windy is running out of material, I just submitted these ones last night. Maybe it’s time we all stopped wasting time with trivial work stuff at work and head over to Craigslist to fill up Windy’s inbox.

Naw, I just had a lot of similar ads and decided to throw them all up at once. I mean, yeah! Stop that trivial work stuff! 8)

I do believe I heard a beat poet recite the first ad during an open mic night at a pizza joint/bar near my university.

I noticed there is a One tag. Is that my tag?
*checks mattress*
That’s very Moving, but I think there might be a Violation here.
*checks inside hat*
*checks shirt collar*
Windrose must be a ninja, sneaking into my house like that.
Hmm. I’ve never had a tag on a website before. Cool.

I give Sparky credit for calling it a “one-seater sofa” rather than boring old “chair”. Makes it sound all comfy and like I could lounge around on it all day in my Snuggie, eating ice cream and binge-watching Downton Abbey. Although it IS too small to really lounge on, I’d fall right off the side if I tried. No room for my cat, either. And I can’t make Mr. Tank sleep on that no matter what he’s done. Ahhhh, sod it. It’s a chair.
