Free Enterprise

Ran the following ad in Craigslist:
 6 Modular stackable wine storage racks - $90 (Jamaica Plain)
I have six black Storvino Nero Wine Storage Containers, each capable of holding six individual bottles for a total of 36 bottles stored safely and neatly. The cost of $90 equates to $15 apiece.:

Perfect for interior closets, under stairwells, in pantries, and basements
Modular and transportable wine storage system
Better use of space, money and natural resources
Made in the USA;100% recycled material

Aaaand here's the first reply:

I found your ad and decided to ask you something important. I am married and caught my partner cheating on me so I must get even! My friend said cl would be the best place to find someone nearby who I can hook up with for one time only so thought the hell, I would email someone I thought sounded sexxy in the ad and came across yours! You seem real and wonderful so would you be maybe interested in chatting online first to see if we're compatible? To prove to you that I am real, I uploaded all of my photos, cell #, and a special note for you only under my private profile page. Can you call me today if you think I am hot? This way I can weed out bots and scammers as I'm fed up with them! I bet you'll be astonished to see who I am! :)

Alrighty then.

I'll bet you WERE astonished. I certainly am. Surely someone this clueless would be the perfect mark to unload your wine crates on at an inflated price.

Well, if you're going to post such racy stuff on Craig's List, you have to expect such replies.

"100% recycled" "modular" "PANTRIES"?? What did you expect??
