Crazy Classified Ads That Give The Hard Sell

Buying and selling can be a complicated business. A great ad is all about telling a story, but you've got to get the right information in it.

There's a lot of jokers and weirdos out there, and these places seem to be what brings them out the cracks. If these ads tell us anything, it's that not everyone out there is a born advertiser.
