    Wow. Why even post pictures that look like you had your finger over the entire lens? Good grief! No sense in some people!

    Do people even double check their ads before putting them up?

    I doubt it, but I'd think they'd notice an all black photo... or 4 of them.

    I have been through probably 1000 Craigslist ads the past few days. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that illiteracy is alive and well and common sense is dead! One of my personal favorites is antique spelled as "antic." I certainly don't expect these ads to read like a college essay but good grief can you at least proofread one sentence? Haha. That and when people give absolutely no information, just "sewing machine." Ah well, it's all part of the amusement.

    Thanks to Frudemoo for pointing this one out: They'll only sell it to a doctor, or presumably someone with an equal command of the English language, but I'm no expert
