Craigslist

the C word

What a boon Craigslist has been for boat owners everywhere.  Where else can you sell huge hunks of useless crap without spending a dime or putting more than 30 seconds of effort into the sale?

The Mocking Craiglist Ads thread is daily reading at Sailing Anarchy HQ, and we encourage you to read it and play along when you see your next idiotic ad.  For instance, to the left you’ll find a beautiful, camo-treated scow for just $200.  What a bargain!

And then here’s today’s piece of art purporting to sell a Morgan, apparently (and actually from eBay):
