INAD - Antique Mirror

A close relative of night photography is twilight photography. Fitting here, as the picture just may have been taken by a vampire.

Funny-Classifieds-BringMuscle
Found On: Honolulu Craigslist

Across from Haiku Cannery, Bring muscle and trailer

Struggling to free itself from the tar pit, the mammoth found itself sucked further into the muck. Millenia later, its well-preserved remains are discovered. Bring muscle and trailer. And museum curator.

Old Freezer

December 19th, 2009

INAD-DeadBodyStorage
Found On: West Virginia Craigslist

I was visiting my grandfather and he wanted to get rid of this old freezer. He used it for deer. He said it was working last time he used it, but he has since cut the chord. It is very heavy.

If you want your item to go from ugly to menacing, we have a pro-tip for you that this guy already knows – night photography.

It makes anything scary. Anything:

playhouse

See? It’s a playhouse. One that looks like it’s inhabited by a play Blair Witch waiting to cut out the play tongues of small children and leave them for dead in the play wilderness.

Cute handmade cat in a christmas tree 12″ tall…

December 15th, 2009

INAD - Handmade christmas cat tree

Found by: Anon on Ebay

As I try to get in the holiday spirit, I keep finding things that get me out of it. The weather, trying to think of gifts, dreading travel – it all weighs on me.

Then this comes along. A wilting Christmas tree, wrapped in barbed wire and wearing a couple dreary, rust-colored stars. The cat is kinda cute, but is it supposed to be an ornament, or something the tree has captured? And why does it have wings, anyway? I’ve never seen the TV special in which children send holiday wishes to The Winged Black Christmas Cat.

This is not my merry Christmas.

Batesville Casket – $1500

December 9th, 2009

INAD - Casket

Found by: Colin on Detroit Craigslist

20 Gauge Steel Casket
Ivory interior
I know this is a weird posting.
But, I bought the casket, and had my husband viewed in it for 1 day.
Then decided to cremate him.
I paid over $1,900 for the casket
I am asking $1,500 OBO
I need to pay off the funeral bill and this is the only way I can.
If interested please call #

INAD - Casket

We’ve featured a casket before, but while it was described as “used,” I’m not sure that it had actually been occupied by a corpse, like this one. I think that you might have to knock more than 20% off the price of a formerly-corpse-inhabited casket, no matter how short the corpse-tenancy was. After all, this isn’t a 2007 Honda with a clean service record we’re talking about.

Selling a CHILD MANNEQUIN. Removable hand and arms.

INAD - Child Mannequin

Are you getting your recommended daily allowance of creepy? Let Little Jimmy help you. His bland, inexpressive smile and eyes will make you keenly aware of the absence of life in him, and send a little shiver down your spine at least a few times a day. Also good for putting a solid scare in you when you wake up in the middle of the night to walk to the bathroom!

You’re never alone with Little Jimmy. Never.

Barbie Dolls

November 12th, 2009

INAD - Barbies

Found by: Pop on Philadelphia Craigslist

Barbie Dolls (some dismembered and hairless) from the late 1980s – early 1990s.

INAD - Barbie

Oh dear lord. These are laid out like massacre victims, just before the bulldozer pushes them into a mass grave. Add the indignity of having their little Barbie clothes removed to the already-charming description (nothing says “fun” like “dismembered and hairless”), and we basically have a set of Srebrenica Barbies. Malibu will never feel the same.

free boat

November 9th, 2009

INAD - Free Boat

Found by: Trekkiebek on Eauclaire Craigslist

older boat needs work as far as i know there are no leaks but hasent been in the water for many years. no motor or trailer

INAD - Free Boat

Formerly a lifeboat attached to the Flying Dutchman. A zombie, really, just in boat form.

Good natural camouflage for sneaking up on the folks on the other side of the lake. Maybe you can revive the legend of the Ghost of Old Elk Lake. Scaring the neighbors is an underrated hobby.

Loveseat with Dead Snake – $125

November 4th, 2009

Hi. I have a light brown plaid loveseat for sale.

Sounds ugly. Sure it doesn’t belong on the curb?

I used to refer to it as a sofa until my boyfriend corrected me.

Your boyfriend sounds like a dick. Sofa, loveseat, whatever. I’ll bet he talks like Napoleon Dynamite. “It’s a loveseat, idiot! Gosh!”

I think it’s around 20 or so years old.

You want money for this?

It is very comfortable.

I’ll pay for comfort. Especially very comfort.

One of my favorite things in the apartment.

OK, salesmanship. I like watching you market. Good on ya.

The thing is the snake crawled into it and died.

Marketing fail.

We can’t find it anywhere in it, without breaking it or really damaging the fabric.

Soooo . . . decomposing dead snake in loveseat? Sounds great! How much do you want for this again?

It was a male (I think) boa, three years old, about 3 feet long,

Cool. So now I can picture what I’m smelling.

and hasn’t been seen for weeks, maybe a month. So the mystery has been solved. The loveseat must go.

I agree, it must go. But probably not in the furniture for sale section.
