The Official dumb things you've seen in listings thread

[BangBang]

People that have been here 5 years, and can't figure out how to use the map in the ad.

For the love of god... THIS!

I get tired of clicking ads in “Northeast Georgia” that turn out to be so far South they’re damn near in FLORIDA!

Some say they are in Athens Greece, so there's that.

May have been mentioned before, but people who don't post photos in ads.

"It's a _______. You know what it looks like."

Pictures are worth thousands of words.

Or they're so bad they're pointless

Or they're so bad they're pointless

Those too, sometimes I'll ask for more, but I figure it ain't gonna happen.

Or they're so bad they're pointless

I swear some people turn off all the lights in the house and close all the blinds before they take pics for their ads

....or maybe they’re trying to sell the gun to get up enough money to have their power turned back on?

If you can post 5 pictures, why not post 5 pictures? Maybe one of them will be good.

On pictures I totally agree ! I am referred to as a Luddite ! People if I can do it an absolute certified idiot can do it ! Put up pictures of the product not a link to the MFG website ! That’s why I learned to do pictures ! Can’t do that linky thing !

Most folks could either get their kids or grand kids to show them how to take good pics and post them to the ODT. lol

Or you could get the neighbor's kids to show you how.

Kids today might not know the lords prayer or the Pledge of allegiance, but they know all about computers, cell phones, and electronics.
