“Free Baby Stuff” Craigslist Ad
The following are some highlights from an amusing Craigslist post of a dad trying to get rid of baby stuff (brought to us by those “Jerks in Your Area“)
“I just don’t have time to deal with negotiators, bargain hunters, and other annoying people.
Baby Gate: To keep babies from getting into your house. Or from falling down stairs.
Stroller: One smaller umbrella-style stroller, not one of the cheap-o ones…Our kid learned how to walk and its too small for me.
Baby Bjorn: Fits one baby, named Bjorn or Bjork or Brent or Brillo Pad.
Wood Chest: Fill with pirate booty and say YARRRR. Also fits 2 babies, I hear this is inadvisable though. Pirate booty probably makes more sense.
Tricycle: Um, this one is a bit dented. The wife almost ran it over (don’t worry the kid was in the chest at the time looking for pirate booty) so the back wheels are wobbly. I’m not a handyman so I just bought a new one. Yeah that’s how I roll. If you are a handyman, take it away. If you are a handywoman … marry me? No just kidding. Unless you’re hot and make wads of cash.
Baby Backpack: Carries lazy babies up Mt Everest. Or down the road to get a vanilla latte, whatever your style. Great shape, like new, true story: I once carried my kid all the way to the pond and back.”
We think that’s a pretty entertaining way to get rid of your baby junk.
How have you liquidated the baby stuff you no longer needed? Did you cash in on Craigslist or hand-it-down to a friend or family in need?









if this guy wrote descriptions on a registry website i’d sign-up for everything that elicited a chuckle. (hmmmm…the next million-dollar idea: entertaining registry source that also has a charitable tie-in. after a failed search for a baby registry that gives back, i went with target who donates a portion of weekly sales to various charities. however, they are short on humor).
