Buffalo Craiglist is a great place to find weirdos.
It’s also a great place to spend considerably less money than you would if you purchased something in a store. There are excellent items available but you really need to sift through some non-excellent items to find them.
Here are 6 items of the latter category that won’t get us to open up our wallets.
REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
“Not working currently” implies that it will be working soon… but it won’t. Nice try with the whole “Here’s what it would cost if it was new and worked” angle but it isn’t and it doesn’t. Also, the padlock dangling off the arm looks ridiculous.

REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
A clawfoot tub? No? How about a leg? No? Just a clawfoot? But you have two of them? Great!
**********
REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
There are many items that are OK to buy secondhand. A skin-tight Lycra bodysuit is not of them. While I’ve got you here, how much are you asking for your kid’s used retainer?
**********
REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
Being raised by a single mother is tough and it likely can’t be fixed for fifty bucks on Craigslist.
**********
REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
Yuck.
**********
REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
So now I get the preseason game I didn’t want, another preseason game I don’t want, and then you’re taking my beer away– for only $735 extra?
**********
REASON WE WON’T PURCHASE:
Don’t know what a gypsy vanner is and presumably have no use for it. Guess we’ll click the link though.
**********
REASON WE WILL PURCHASE:
Holy crap… it’s a live horse! Changed our minds. Coming soon to Craigslist– “Local website seeks tiny man to ride Gypsy Vanner to victory!” Remember that name the next time you’re at OTB.
