    Funny CL ad - 'wood working husband'

    http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/bar/1207974314.html

    I have a 55 gallon tank it has fake wood trim, it holds water, it has a filter. I'd like to trade it for a couch, or a master bedroom set.

    The couch has to be a dark color, we have kids. No smoke smell please, I am allergic. A red or black couch would be absolutely perfect.

    Or a master bedroom set, either just a bed (king or queen sized) or a whole set is fine we can pick up. We literally have no couch or bed right now. Long story... involves a lynx... anyway...

    The tank is nice, wish it had a stand we could throw in, the best I can offer is a mammoth botched job by my 'wood working husband' whom was convinced that the tank would break the wood so he basically framed a friggen house worth of 2x4 for a stand, which he made 4 feet tall, instead of the 3 feet I said to make it, and then abandoned the whole project when I said he did it wrong. The thing weighs like more then the tank full. I swear to you an elephant could be placed on it and it would hold. If you want this mammoth collection of wood for the tank you are welcome to it as well, but uh... bring like 10 men to move it... you could finish it out in some nice wood and it would look great, but once you get it placed you will probably never want to move it again.

    Pictures of my tank for pictures of your couch/master bedroom.

    Thanks!

    "Long story... involves a lynx..."

    That could be an interesting story. What happened, the kids try to keep it as a pet?

    Bad decisions make good stories.

      As an aside, I've never understood the "bartering" forum on CL. Why don't they just sell the items, then find a <whatever they're looking for> with the new money?

      If you're looking to trade a John Deere garden tractor for a Yamaha professional-series trumpet, it seems your market is approaching zero... But there are a lot of people who would buy/sell the tractor or trumpet outright...
