Craigslist find of the week - the anti-staging approach

I hope this gets a laugh out of a few people.

I've seen quite a few ads. People who just clean up a few things and snap pictures, and others who go through the trouble to stage the interior, etc.

And then you find the people who didn't bother to de-clutter... or maybe they added more clutter for that lived in look?

It's a turn off to me, but maybe I'm picky.

    Maybe the seller believes in truth in advertising and, subscribes to the 'what you see is what you get' theory.

    They probably can't figure out why it's not selling. :h

    Bingo. I thought racing dirt bikes as well.

    The towels on the floor looked like water to me!

    Glad I could bring some laughs to ya'll this Monday. I would love to call and ask if all the clothes go with it :E

    How much would you have to pay a scrap yard to take that thing!?

    Gave me a headache.



    My local scrapyard would give me a few hundred bucks for it. And probably let the illegals that work there live in it for a while.

    Yeah - asthma kicking in just looking at it.

    Although, mine wasn't much worse when I got it. Mildew not mold. Everything was coated in black. Took forever to clean, and I still happen upon a missed spot once in a while (have only had it a year now).

    This one is free of clutter but not free of rust and mold. The poster says it was driven a couple of years ago but the license place on the back was last issued in 1996.

    That's pretty cool though....


    Very cool!
