Strangest CL 'finds'

I got bored last night and decided to peruse CL, and of course found the crazies. It ranged from the delusional (5ft generic male red tail $65 or will trade for pied or ultramel BP), to the unsettling (morphs in exchange for guns). Am I just geographically 'lucky'? What's the weirdest thing you've stumbled across?

Buddy of mine is really into bike racing like tour de france type stuff but on a much lighter scale. He has friends that trade snakes for bike parts.

I was about to say I've seen some 'will trade snakes for guns' ads, but then I realized you're also from Phoenix, so it's probably the exact same one!! Lol gotta love the Craigslist crazies. Seems like they're out in full force this time of year :)

Well, I just offered a trade for BP's in exchange for trigger time on my machine guns, does that count? Or, your ball python for my Colt Python? LOL.

Unsettling?

A trade is a trade. What does it matter if it is a gun?


My local Craigslist has a person trying to trade snakes for a car.

Not unsettling at all that someone wants a gun, who cares what they trade for? It is still legal here in CO however now one must submit a background check for the private sale or transfer of a weapon on the purchaser. Sheriffs here in CO are fighting the new laws (which also include a magazine capacity restriction) because, among other reason, the new laws are unenforceable. If I say that they transfer occurred before 1 July then the investigator would bear the burned of proof of my lying. Either way, keeping America armed is a good thing and I would definitely take a firearm in exchange for a snake that I was selling!

I saw this ad last night and had a giggle!

As for the comment on guns, I don't care what you trade as long as it's legal.

Nothing wrong with trading snakes for guns...

Two hobbies I enjoy very much are guns and animals.

As a gun store owner... You would be utterly AMAZED at what people are willing to trade for a firearm. <I really should have taken the 67 mustang for an ar-15 deal>

I've found some weird stuff, but nothing like snakes for guns or anything.
