I am starting this thread, because I was recently turned on by Craigslist (great site by the way). I have come across a few ads that have literally made me cry, laughing. Also, some of the ads are so ridiculous that you just have to shake your head in disbelief.

 

So, anyone that comes across an ad that you feel needs special attention on UrbanOhio ... post away!

 

This should be pretty fun!

 

 

 

 

 

I'll start with this one:

 

If anyone happens to need shower curtain rings, you are in luck ... because these are FREE!

I sold an old sock on ebay that fell behind my dryer. Highest bid was two dollars. True story.

Look at this ebay auction - see anything unusual?

One thing ive noticed for a while is that Ohio in general is lacking in listing in Craigslist. Portland for example has 54k in items for sale. Cincinnati by comparison has only 5800. Why is that gap so wide?

Most people use eBay. Craigslist doesn't touch eBay on popularity. I am curious to see how the comparisons rank with eBay as far as listings go.

Many websites have a geographical bias due to word-of-mouth tending to be exponential.
