vintage toilet paper holder - $100


vintage toilet paper holder

Hello there,

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the cute vintage toilet paper holder http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/oak/hsh/1285859573.html .
You accidentally posted the price as $100, LOL! I was just wondering what the actually asking price is because I really like it.

Cheers,

Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder - $10


Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder

Hi,

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/yrk/for/1285119170.html . I am very interested in procuring a new Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder but I have extremely high quality standards. On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate this particular Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder? Where 1 is the worst Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder you have ever seen, 10 is the unachievable PERFECT Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder of which we all dream, and 5 is just a standard Large Crayon #1 Teacher Coin Holder that you see all over town.

Thanks,

Response
Hi,

The coin holder is really cute and great quality. I purchased it for a friend when she but I ended up getting together with a group and buying her a bigger gift.

Let me know if you are interested in seeing it.

Thanks

FOCL
1-10???

Also, you purchased it for a friend when she.... what?

Response
Sorry... when she started teaching last fall. I would say for a coin holder it is a ten. I would buy it again if I had too.

FOCL
If you would buy it again for $15 then we have a deal. I will cover the round trip shipping.

Response
Sorry, but it is pick up only. Where do you live?

Thanks

FOCL
Well how about this? Since you offered to sell it to me for $10 and also agreed to buy it for $15 why don't you send me the $5 you owe me and then once I have received the payment I will arrange for it to remain at your house.

Response
You have alot of time on your hands. Here is a suggestion GET A LIFE!!!

painted wood cat stand - $10



painted wood cat stand

Hi There,

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the painted wood cat stand http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/yrk/hsh/1281798238.html . In the ad you say "Standing about 2 feet this adorable cat planter stand will make a great conversation piece!" I can just imagine that conversation...

Guest: What the f*ck is that thing?
Me: That is the adorable painted wood cat planter stand that I purchased off Craig's List.
Guest: Get a f*cking life.

Is the price negotiable?

FOCL is back

The FOCL summer hiatus is over. Lots more FOCL content coming right up.

Black Capped Chickapee Figurine & Eagle Figurine - $2


Black Capped Chickapee Figurine & Eagle Figurine

Hi there fellow bird (figurine) lover,

I saw your ad on craigslist for the Black Capped Chickapee Figurine & Eagle Figurine for sale for $2 for the lot http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mss/hsh/1186278333.html . You mentioned that if I "want more infor or pics" I could email you. That is great because I am not a sucker and I am not about to fork over my hard earned money (and I assure you I work VERY hard for my money) after seeing just 3 photos and a certificate. Please send me:

A close up photos of the eagle's talons
Below wing photos of the eagle's right and also left wing
Two photos (one front and one back) of the Black Capped Chickapee's flowery perch
A scan of the certificate (both sides), and
A birds-eye-view photo of each bird's eyes.

Thanks!

PS: I couple of words about how you got them would also be great.

CLOCK MADE FROM TRUNK OF TREE - $70


CLOCK MADE FROM TRUNK OF TREE

Good evening,

I saw your ad on Craig's List for the CLOCK MADE FROM TRUNK OF TREE. You mention that it is "a wonderful conversation piece". At first I thought, "Ya of course it is" then I thought some more and realized that the only conversation I could think of would go like this:

Guest: Hey is that clock made from trunk of tree?
Me: Yes.
Awkward silence...

If that is it I am not sure I would call it "a wonderful conversation piece". Could you please send me a transcript from a conversation which has progressed a little further than that?

Thanks so much,
