1) Take the picture with your cell phone.
Make sure it's fuzzy and has a background so busy that you can barely make out the item amongst the rest of your worthless ****
2) A 4-5 word description is plenty as I realize that any more than that would be a Mental hurdle for an imbecile of your stature.
3) No need for Brand, Model, Size or type. I realize that you and that family of Morons that bore you 9 months after that night in the El Camino have no use for specifics.
4) Reply to any articulate query with the same 4 words that you grunted out for the original description.
ie: "Binch Grindr-runs gud" you slap-happy POS!
5) Most Important: State your home address in the ad so I can drive over and slap the friggin' Stupid out of you!
sincerely,
Ornery Rob :mad:

Could not agree more with your description. I am searching for a horizontal bandsaw and come across one that says "industrial bandsaw". Click on the link and: crappy cell phone pick (check) works good (check) works good (check). When I called to inquire about the make and model, he cops an attitude and says he will get back to me with the information. Two days later he calls me back with the info, again with the ******** of the year attitude. As a side note, I am really debating on the saw as it has really mixed reviews.

As to the link, that is some funny stuff there!

Lock,
There are more tucked away in the robarchives but , i'm a little afeared to actually post my based on real-life stories, as a couple of them involve contrived violence against a user of the fine family of Harbor Freight ..uh.. Tools.. as well as defenseless elderly women and a Minister or two on occasion. :)

6. Don't list a telephone number and never answer e-mail inquiries
7. If you do list a phone number, have your ******/junkie girlfriend answer; hungover, clueless, ''musta put that on sometime without tellin' me . . . don' know when he'll be back . . . yeah, sure, I'll giv'em the message."
8. Post the listing on all the craigslists in the whole region, so anyone interested will have a three-hour drive just to look at what you can't accurately describe.
9. Price it high enough so no one would ever pay that, and keep repeating the posting every three days for at least a year.
10. "If I don't get at least $100 for it, it's going to the scrap yard tomorrow."

Good one, airbuff!

Don't forget to put it in the worst possible listing. Such as a bed in car parts or a toilet seat in sporting goods. That way, we're sure to find it easily...
