Well if this ad doesn't offend...

If this works, I"m in need of a new vacuum cleaner and toothbrush... (Ad appears in SF Bay craigslist)

I have the nicest 1 yr old Macaw female. In liue of a monetary exchange, I would consider a trade for a high quality brown leather sofaset or sectional set, I am in need of a recliner in the deal if possible too, as in recliners built in the set or seperate, two is most preferred, if possible. I am partial to the brass tack head style, or nice rolled arm styling. Value of trade must be equal to the market value of my bird, in lieu of money. I could adopt her out for a fee but I am offering to adopt her out for a trade instead, so this should not offend anyone, since I have a special need for rehoming her, this is not me being opportunistic, just trying to get something I am in need of and hoping that someone out there has a situation where they have been wanting and considering adopting a bird like mine, this is a win win situation, bartering is what we did before we used money for everything, so please don't flag my ad, if you have issue please email me and I will even explain why I have to rehome her, it is a personal thing that is not appropriate to be posting for everyone to read about. At least she specifies exactly what she is looking for.. don't forget he brass tacks, ye who are considering responding. Maybe this is the latest thing to do, since in Denver a woman was just arrested for selling her baby to get money for a downpayment on a car.

For some reason, the first thing that went through my mind was that the bird destroyed the sofa/recliner, so now the owner wants to trade the 'defective' bird for a non-destroyed sofa.

But I can be cynical that way.

A few months ago, someone was wanting to trade their CAG for a working car and a blue and gold for someone to build them a deck. So sad that a person would just trade their animals like an object. I know some are desperate for money, but, come on....
It just makes me so sad...

hey, some people sell their kids.... we just had a case in denver, where a mother sold her baby for $1500 for a downpayment on a car.... and for me kids = fids.... so some people are capable of things that are unthinkable for others

People are heartless when it comes to animals. Breaks my heart. Maybe this is why I'm not meant to be rich---I'd call them offer them the money and have the bird flown in.
