    She's selling used condoms (amongst other things). I only had to look for three minutes to find this so God know what else is on this site.

    Ick! Used condoms? What do people *do* with them?

        I've no idea if people will buy them, and I was quite surprised just at someone trying to sell them. I feel weird about the world at the moment.

        Suck on them? What *is* this? I've decided I want to sit in a rocking chair, near an open fire, with a tartan blanket on my lap, and a bag of Werther's Originals, and forget the rest of the world exists.

          Craigslist is always skeezy, but Manchester Craigslist seems particularly… interesting.

            Now you've got me wondering whether anyone has ever used a balloon as a condom. o_O

              I've used condoms as balloons. Does that count for anything? Anyway, it would have to be a large ballon, or else you'd have to cut off the end of it, but that would probably cause the balloon to split pretty quickly. I think even large balloons have small openings, actually, so you'd have to cut off the end either way.

    My favourite thing about this listing, other than the unsettling ambiguity, is that it's in the "financial services" category.

Please do some resurch before you get these or any other seahorses. I love them, the males have a pouch like a kangroo and eyes like a lizard and tails like a monkey. they can and do camoflang them selfs. I can watch them for hours!!!! Sometimes people come in and I think they are here to visit the seahorses more than us! LOL Our number is XXX-XXX-XXXX. We live ON US XXX about 2 miles north of state road XXX.

        I can tell you the dumbest thing they are selling at the market. They are selling pine cones. As if they are really that hard to go find.

          I bought pine cones at walmart. It felt dumb, because I know I could get them outside for free, but I didn't want to take the chance that there would be a bug in it. I was using them in a table decoration.

      Yes, that is a pram - or stroller for you non-British folk - for dogs.

      You might need the link to appreciate it fully: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/for/3418144666.html

      You've got to wonder what the point of that product even is, although I guess you could fill it with puppies adorably.

          Because some people have some major issues and they treat their little dogs like babies. Its sickening and not good for the poor dog. There's a few crazy women around my hood who walk their dogs like that. The poor things probably never actually touch the ground. Sad sad sad

            I have a dog stroller. I use it when I go on vacation to places that are crowded. I have a small dog that would get stepped on. I know I look ridiculous, but my dogs safety comes first. I don't treat my dog like a baby, but she is part of our family and my kids adore her, so I'm going to do whatever I have to do to keep her safe.
