Here you go, here’s an expensive crib set what includes a crib with a drop side (which means it slides up and down) which you can’t sell in the United States anymore.
But can you sell it used on Craigslist? No. Hell no.
Check it, straight from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Loophole alert: Are you allowed to sell this crib not as a crib but as a convertible child’s bed?
Possibly.
Loophole alert: Are you allowed to throw away the drop side and sell the crib as a daybed, thusly?
“Beautiful, high quality solid wood Morigeau-Lepine crib converted to toddler day bed. Originally purchased for 850.00. Attached picture is of original drop-side crib which is now banned in the U.S. Drop side piece is not included in this sale to avoid possible danger.”
I don’t know. Maybe.
But what I do know is that you can’t sell drop side cribs no mo, even on Craigslist.
And yet people try to do that on Craigslist each and every day.
Just saying, ma’am.
What should you buy instead? How about a Sniglar* from IKEA? It costs just $69 (and it certainly looks like it costs just $69.)
And it will not impress any rich ladies in Russian Hill or anywhere else.
But, the Sniglar, she is legal, and that’s the thing.
Sorry for the hassle. Thank you, drive through.

$1700 on the craigslist. See?
“Kevin Rose’s moped is back up for sale. 2nd@1977mopeds build I’ve seen on SF craigslist this week. Very nice bike.”
Anyway, it runs, or at least it was running about town last week.
Here’s the history on YouTube - start at around 4:00.

Ever more deets:
“Fully Loaded 1977 Puch Maxi Moped – $1700 (mission district)
I am selling the 1977 Puch Maxi moped featured in this blog post: http://jalopnik.com/5481416/dont-bury-kevin-roses-custom-moped
It has been fully restored. It hasn’t been driven much, but the pedals were swapped out for pegs. I still have them if you’re interested in them instead.
Asking $1700 OBO.
Thanks!
Chris”

Now see here, this is the way things used to be at Geary and Masonic, right near the deadly Masonic Trader Joe’s gro sto.
See? This ad from last year was horrible:

Then the local Audi people got rid of that billboard because the Giants were no longer champs.
But then, Matt Cain pitched his perfect game earlier this year, so up went a new ad:
It was much better, non?
But now we’re back to this:
Now, does Matt Cain really have friends at Audi San Francisco?
I don’t think so.
And, think about it, does anybody really need an Audi?
I don’t think so.
Oh well.
In closing, Cain!

Is this a way to sort of ride along on the Giants winning the World Series last year?
“We Strike Out Competition Like San Francisco Champs”
(It helps to say the phrase as if you were Yakov “Smirnoff” or Boris Badenov. Otherwise, it’s hard for me to say it.)

Also, Audis are kind of expensive for what you get, right? Please do something about that, RoyalMotorSales.
I mean, isn’t $133K kind of expensive for an A8 sedan, you know, in light of what the car is like?

[Whoops. See comments.]
That way, you’re making things easier for whomever ends up having to dispose of your worthless hunk ‘o junk.
That way you’ll be so much classier than those people who leave their old car batteries on the ground, right?

Hey do you have a Canon SLR camera made the past two decades or so? Sure, millions of others across the world do too. Well today is your lucky day – you can buy a 1200mm lens from New York’s B&H Foto and Electronics for just $120,000.
As soon as you get it, just click it onto your cam and start shooting.
SpookyVision enabled, click to expand
B&H doesn’t come right out and say it, but I think they’ve lost the tripod. Oh well.
“The Canon 1200/5.6L USM, the longest fixed telephoto lens ever built by Canon, contains 13 elements (2 Fluorite) in 10 groups and focus’ down to 49.5′. With an angle-of- view of about 2° on a full-frame 35 mm camera, calling this lens a ‘tele’ is like calling King Kong a monkey.
Built-to-order by Canon from 1993 to 2005, each lens was hand-crafted at the rate of about 2-per-year and a delivery time of about 18 months. Only a dozen-or-so were ever made. Who bought them? National Geographic magazine and Sports Illustrated are known to own a couple, the Feds probably have a few squirreled away somewhere, and a few well-heeled photo enthusiasts.
This particular lens is extremely clean inside and out. Included with this lens is a leather slip-on ‘lens cap’, the original fitted aluminum trunk case, a custom trunk case with wheels that holds the original trunk case, and a prodigious measure of ego satisfaction. Weighing in at over 36lbs and an overall length of 33 inches, a sturdy tripod and pan/tilt head is highly recommended.
Pack mule not included.”
Don’t delay, buy today.
