This fluff piece only serves to illustrate the class divisions in our society: Those with no motivation to use any imagination, and those who have needed to use their imagination to get by and get ahead. It is rude for the overpriveleged class to poke fun at the rest of us. I scour Craigs List for exactly these kind of giveaways.

The examples in the article all appear to be EXACTLY as described. So what's the problem, ItemNotAsDescribed.com? Maybe you should change your address to StuffIDontLikeOnCraigsList.com.

WOW - What irony!

As useless article about a useless site that monitors useless items.

Are you related to this nitwit that started ItemNotAsDescribed.com?
Because if not I have no idea why you would write this.

CL can and is a very good place to find/sell items.

I sold a $2,000 Mac tool box using CL. However, I had to re-write my posting a few times to get rid of the scammers. (local pick-up, cash, NO checks stuff like that)
