Best of Craigslist: Giant Dragon and Star Wars Pinball

It's amazing what folks will post for sale on Craiglist. Here are some of the best from suburban Milwaukee communities.

Because one man’s trash is another man’s cobbler’s last, Patch has scoured Craigslist in Milwaukee-area Patch communities to find some of the most interesting and unusual items posted for sale this week.

Handmade waterfall and yard art dragon – Caledonia

If you’ve ever wanted to be the only one on your block to own a particular item, this is undoubtedly the item.

Waukesha restaurant building – Waukesha

It’s just funny to see an item listed with one photo and two short sentences, asking $695,000.

NKOTB items – Oak Creek

That’s “New Kids on the Block” for the uninitiated. It’s hard to describe the level of contempt I had for them as a college student. But they were huge.

Star Wars pinball machine – Mount Pleasant

Two words: Man Cave.

External 3.5 floppy disk – Waukesha

Retro AM/FM transistor radio – Brookfield

The detritus of outdated technology has a home on Craigslist. Seeing the floppy disk drive brought to mind a famous scene from the movie “Sixteen Candles,” while the transistor radio was the Walkman before there was a Walkman.

Patch does not vouch for the quality or availability of any of the items listed.

Dave, thank you for a thoughtful comment, "...privatize the gains and socialize theRead More losses" gives a lot to think about. I also wish we had looked at restructuring the tax code to cover two unfunded wars.

“The state is only a year out of the recall mess that stalled any real change and any outsideRead More investment.” [WI = Mississippi II] What real change has been stalled? The “Love” Gov. Walker of yours has had his way with passing austerity, Neanderthal budgets, disenfranchising voters, repealing fair wages for women, Act 10, marginally crippling unions, because they invariably support the middle class and Democratic party, putting Billions on the credit card, and then, disingenuously claiming to have “balanced the budget” and created a huge surplus as well, and now – think small government here – is moving forward with ultrasounds for all women contemplating abortion, and we cannot forget the “mine” which, will create 700 low paying permanent jobs for Wisconsinites… all of these masterful initiatives have one thing in common: they are all tied up in the courts, and will not be resolved for years, and, the taxpayers of Wisconsin are all paying for Steve’s love affair with the “Love” Gov. Walker and his serial abortions… What will you say on June 5, 2014, when WI is the same as it is today or worse? I know. “Well, it is only 2-years out of the recall mess…”

Cry more. Your liberal propaganda is falling on deaf ears.
