It's All About the Details

Every now and then I scan the furniture section on Craigslist. Not that we need furniture, I just do it. I saw a posting for an oak bed. I have no idea what persuaded me to click on it - twin beds and oak are not a common site in the imperfect household - but I did.

Now...



I'm trying - REALLY trying - to understand this photo. It was easier to take and upload a picture of the camera with a different camera than to just upload the picture from the original camera? Okay, I'm starting to see the logic here. It's all making sense. Sure, that's completely reasonable. I'll go with it.

Classic - I love it. The ridiculousness of some Craigslist ads crack me up, and I am impressed with the originality here. I mean, who else would think to take a picture of a picture of what they're selling? (Also, is it wrong to peruse Craigslist in an attempt to make myself feel smarter than I am? Because I usually feel pretty darn smart after checking over ads for "chest of draws" and "wrote iron bed frames".)

That's hilarious.

Maybe they lost the cord???? =)

OK, I have a guess. I still think this is stupid, but here's the guess.

Person A has the bed at their house and took the picture. Then they went to Person B's house to use their computer/internet to post the ad. Then they realized the Person B doesn't have the software for Person A's camera on their computer, so Person B got out their camera and took a picture of the picture.

What do you think? I have no other explanation.

Hahaha. That's hysterical. Maybe they were pressed for time and couldn't find the original cord for the first camera?

Leigh said...

hahaha, I started at the photo for a good 10 seconds trying to figure out what it was before reading your post.
