You can sell anything on Craig's List, because people will buy anything!

It's like Ebay, only easier and faster. "If you post it, they will come." I sold my old bed set in 4 hours...I posted it in the morning, got an email while I was at work, so I went home at lunch so the person could come over and pick it up!

Haha, how much does it cost to just get a justice of the peace to do it? Certainly it's no more than $40 or so! Crazy.

At the bottom of the posting it says that the location is Moscow? Idk if that's a default thing, or a typo... or what... but maybe that's why they are looking for someone to pronounce them? But then again... why are they posting in English if they are in Moscow? :confused:

I believe there's a Moscow in Idaho.

I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at

I'm overreaching at all. ..."

Once again, Craigslist delivered. My boyfriend bought a 1-year-old Drexel Heritage brown leather sofa over the weekend for $300! The guy was moving to Australia, so selling all of his furniture. It was a steal, and is an awesome, beautiful couch that should last for years.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Deal or no deal? An online exchange between a woman looking for a husband who earns more than $500,000 a year and a mystery Wall Street banker, who assessed her potential for romance as a business deal, has cause quite an Internet stir.

The anonymous 25-year-old woman recently posted an ad on the free online New York community Web site Craigslist, http://newyork.craigslist.org/, appealing for advice on how to find a wealthy husband.
"I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all," the woman, who described herself as "spectacularly beautiful" and "superficial," wrote.
"I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. $250,000 won't get me to Central Park West," she said, asking questions like "where do rich single men hang out?"
The mystery banker, who said he fit the bill, offered the woman an analysis of her predicament, describing it as "plain and simple a crappy business deal."
"Your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity ... in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!" the banker wrote.
"So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset," he said. "Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you!"
"It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease," he said.
While the woman has since removed the ad from Craigslist, it -- along with the response -- has become a popular email joke that, bank JPMorgan Chase says, led to one of its bankers mistakenly being credited with writing the response.
Brian Marchiony, spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, said the banker did not write the response and that his email signature accidentally became attached to the ad and response when he forwarded it to friends and it then wound up on blogs.
Craigslist was not immediately available for comment, but a spokeswoman told The New York Times that "it does look as if the post was made sincerely."

This is why it's important to meet in a busy, public place when you don't know the person. Did she go to the home to "interview"?

no words to describe this one.
women wants to barter with dentist

CAREFUL opening link at work, or other sensitive areas LOL
