Hurry before this one is snatched up

I... I don't even know where to begin. This one... I...

Ok, so I know exactly where to begin. For the love of the blessed Virgin Mary, THROW THIS GOD DAMN THING AWAY!!!


I can't decide if this person is desperate for money, or is a pack rat who refuses to throw anything away unless someone else can take it, promising to make use of it. But when you are selling a used litter box that can be purchased for $15 or $20 brand new and are asking $9, could you at least learn how to rotate a photo so it appears upright? Or, oh I don't know, hose out the quarter-inch thick layer of cat shit? By the way, I certainly hope you never start a restaurant. The health department wouldn't agree that a plate of food caked in animal feces is in "good condition."



I've bought and sold my fair share of stuff on craigslist, but you have to wade through hundreds of posts where the item is such utter trash that it should be thrown away. Either the seller has a confoundingly inflated sense of the item's worth ("35 year old hollow core door. Split completely in two, paint stains all over it. $350"), or they ask less than $10 for something that not only should be incinerated on the spot, but that no one would take if you paid THEM to take it.

But at least this guy posted photos. One of my other craigslist pet peeves is people who close their text-only ad with "I have pics, just ask." If you have photos, then just fucking post them! If I have to ask, I'm not going to ask. This is the internet. Learn how to use it, jackass.
