Craigslist Weirdness

[Beltzington]

Not sure if this is stretching the OP intentions but I have to share.

I spend way too much time shopping on Craigslist and have found some very good deals. However I always feel like cutting coupons afterwards.

Anyway, this was in the "Wanted" section tonight for Augusta, GA. Been very tempted to shoot them an email to see if the found what they were looking for but I am afraid where this correspondence might lead.


"LOOKING FOR A LITTLE PERSON TO HANG OUT WITH AND PARTY. FREE BEER WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE LITTLE PERSON. PREFERABLY BELOW THE HEIGHT OF 4 FOOT 8. HAS TO BE OF LEGAL DRINKING AGE."

most people don't know the finer points in telling a tractor model from another. . .

. . . so.. it can get confusing to some owners who are not well versed in early ford-ese.

Yeah, when I see the ads for an 8-end Ford, I usually figure there's no tellin' what their sellin'.:laughing:

what I love is getting there and seeing a hundred series model being sold as an 8n.. usually goes cheaper.

another odd one is when you can point to the bellhousing and show them the model id number, and they still claim it's another model.

when i bought one of my 850's, the seller swore up and down it was an 8-0-1 model.. I tried to explain 801 was a series from 58-62 and 800 was a series from 55-57, and the middle digit made it a model number, and then pointed to the 8-5-0 on the tractor.. he stubbornly said.. 'no.. it's an 801.. i'm sure of it..'

SG, you were taliking about needing small repairs? Like only needs a Battery, or a Tune-up? Or the Carburator needs to be re-assembled and put on.{it's in a Bucket of fuel}..HA HA....But I'll take just $50.00 less than perfect condition price?

If I start reading that I'll waste the entire evening. BTDT.

I think the funniest and saddest ones are the long hungover one-night-stand morning-after posts in Missed Connections - 'Just what was your name? How can I get in touch with you? You left before I was awake! ... I hope you read this and I can see you again!
