Some of these Craigslist adds just make me laugh

"The Decepticon Cutlass" Besides the terrible grammer and apparently the only good thing about the car is the halo lights since the rest of the car was not worth taking pictures of (you are allowed 8 total) I think the best part is he is willing to take $5,000 or 5 pounds for it. Heck, I might just give him 10 pounds for since it's Christmas and all.

I still have £5 in coins from my last trip to the United Kingdom...I wonder if he'd take that.

Must've had a few drinks before he wrote the ad. That or never passed 1st grade English. Lol, either way, that cracked me up!

That was written with the same mastery of English I've come to expect from a Nigerian prince.

I'm ask'n $5pounds that's what thay say in the uk meaning $5000.

It's supposed to be "tons" instead of "pounds." 1000 kilos is equal to 1 metric ton. 5 tons = 5000 kilos. 5Gs in his case.
My guess is, he heard it on "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" a long time ago and forgot how it went.

Oops. If he asked for tons I might have figured it out....

Its been a long time since I have seen Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, I should watch it again.

Since he is talking currency I would say he definetly meant pounds but obviously doesn't realize 5 pounds is about $8.08 US currency.
My guess would be he heard the term somewhere and thought throwing that in his add would really make it him sound sophisticated

All part of his failure to communicate!
