Before the blackouts started in Texas, I was a craigslisting fool. First I sold this:
Then I sold this:
Hooray for me! Now all of this purging has opened up the extra space (and cash) to — wait for it — buy more stuff off craigslist. Thus far, I’ve been pretty restrained in my purchases. I did buy this rug for Ike’s room:
But that was a necessity… relatively speaking. I know. It’s a hard luck life I live. Anyway, I’ve been trolling craigslist like a crack addict, hoping to score a new (to me) headboard or perhaps even a fancy dresser, when what did I spy with my gimlet eye but this – the most amazing craigslist post I have ever seen:
Queen Bedroom Set w/ Dressers (Black)
selling my bedroom set. its all black with a tempurpedic mattress. the only pics i have are with my friend and the snake so disregard them.
Yes peeps, this is for real. And still for sale. Now, close your eyes and try to remember what the bedroom set looked like… What’s the matter? Can’t you remember? For the life of me, I can’t imagine what may have turned your attention elsewhere.
Happy Friday! Hope you stay as cozy and warm as a snake in a den.

some people deserve to be smacked on the basis of sheer stupidity.
there is someone in austin who has a seriously cool leather lounger though.
Bah! So sad to see the lounger go, but I get it. I’ve had to part with awesome myself many a time. Those blackouts are crazy, good luck!
You might have just given that kid her big break.
hysterical! lots of CL trolling today to be done-yay for the snow day!!
what’s for sale here? I have a feeling the dresser isn’t even part of the deal.
I’m dying laughing. It amazes me what people put on craigslist.
you flagged this as best of craigslist, right? because this is nothing short of phenomenal.
5 comments my ass.
Glad you were able to unload the headboard and kelly wearstler-esque sofa thingy. Sorry I forget its proper name. It’s a cool little alien, but from what I remember, it didn’t quite fit in your home.
As for the snake… yea I’m not touching that topic.
Dude, I know. We have several thousand readers daily, where are my thousands of comments??? Obviously people are too busy laughing to type.
Obviously.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. The worm is gone? I feel like I don’t even know you anymore.
Oh Girlfriend you are killin’ this faux-snow day Mama!!!
And I thought me guffawing at redneck mentions of “French Preventional” and “E’tjeres” was the extent of
the heady, Craigslist madness!
This gal, and her snake, may need to make a move into by boudoirlicious digs.
Cuz sister here is werkin’ it like only a disco diva in the making could!
I just sincerely hope it’s only the bedroom set that’s for sale. Hm, underage much?
Oh, and btw, that rug in Ike’s room was a major score. Besides, let’s just face the facts: we’re Americans, we buy, we purge, we buy some more.
Its engrained in our DNA.

Still diggin Ike’s room. Great job!
Hilarious! What an interesting marketing strategy!
“so disregard them.” Wow. I’m laughing so hard.
paper towels and lotion or dandruff shampoo in the last shot? yes, I’m back to comment more on this.
Maybe you would have gotten more for the lounge if you were Roberta Flack?
