Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

Funny thread. Reminds me of a few I had seen on Ebay. I found a guy selling grilled cheese sandwiches on ebay once...really?

The best was the guy on Ebay who was renting himself out. You pay airfare and hotel fees and he would come and kick anyone's ass you desired!!! That one was pulled fairly fast.

Have not seen many bizarre on CL yet, but give me time!

You're not counting shipping. I actually paid $61 for everything, and talking to other BYCers, thats pretty much what they paid. Mine aren't show quality, and I would still pay $60 for those ducks. Oh, and you have to pay a small order fee... So yeah, it's a LOT!

Tons, okay more like hundreds of pounds of chicken poo, bring a shovel and a bucket/trash bale or 2, and have as much as you'd like. Needs to be kept neat etc, but if you have a small garden, we can help each other out!


I thought this was so funny! Haha!

Yeah, that's ordering with all those extras. The ad is none of that though, and are plain old ducks you could get from an individual or a farm store for 3 or 4 dollars each. So $60 is sheer insanity on Craigslist. lol

Well... Yeah, I wouldn't ever buy anything $60 or more on CL (Especially ducks, who have already bonded with their previous owner!).

Actually, it's the average price of ducklings on Metzer's... It's what I paid.

Seriously!? My poor ducklings, they must feel so cheap... I got them for $2 a piece from a breeder.

They sell for that cheap at feed stores, too, but our feed store only sells chicks...
