Craigslist fishing volume 2: Bailout Deli gets a taste of its clientele

A Taste of Craiglist

In this installment I post a free ad or classified in the beginning of the day and I see if what I’m offering is popular or interesting to the Craigslist Community in New York, which to me is a balanced pool ripe for surveying. This way we can see what will sell at our deli and can analyze market trends.

This time I wanted to see if Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid still sold well in NY after the Giants' loss to the Eagles on Sunday. Andy Reid, despite coaching an NFC East Team that is in direct competition to our Giants, is something of a sex symbol in New York. Well, let's see if his appeal still holds up even after his team beat ours in a highly anticipated game.




Here's what I posted.

Hey! I have a super rare and special giveaway.

This is a wheel of cheese, swiss to be exact, that has a portrait of Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid carved into the top. It is immaculate: Shows him in his full glory, looking powerful and intimidating.

This cheese is NOT edible, but don't worry. It's sprayed with a preservative that prevents it from rotting, molding or smelling. It's preserved and lasts a lifetime!

You could give it to your kids!

It's free because I make a lot of these and would love to give one to a loving home. But clearly this is going to be a hot item. Tell me why YOU think you deserve such a fantastic ornament for YOUR holiday season.


Warm love and faith,

Thad

P.S: Merry Christmas!

Hi
Just saw this very interesting post.....my husband & I are sports enthusiasts - at least he's the sports master and he got me into sports big time - baseball & football - he's the perfect husband + it'd go with our other sports memrobilia! And of course absolutely a pretty cool item to pass down to our kids when we decide to have them- I work on UWS 95 - I'm a nanny so if we are selected then I can pick up after work! Thanks

So there it is! Andy Reid is still enormously popular. We will definitely include him in ALL of our products. Andy Reid Meat, Andy Reid Sweatsuits, Andy Reid Bodysuits, and Andy Reid Flavored Horse.


Thanks, Craig!

as far as i see it

Arab or Flapper?

We'd like to take this opportunity to start a new tradition on Bailout, one that will surely stand the test of time and guide us through this economic crisis and many more crises to come. It's called Arab or Flapper? and it's relatively simple. We show you a picture of an Arab or a Flapper, and you get to guess which is which. Sounds fun enough, right? Well, without further ado:
Take a long hard gander at this person here. It could be a Flapper, but then again, is it an Arab? Do you give up? It's a....Flapper! Were you right? Flappers were young women in the 1920's who danced to jazz music and rebelled against their parents and just wanted to have fun!!

This next one will be a little easier, I promise:
Come on, this is an easy one! Now remember, it could either be an Arab, or a Flapper. Still thinking? Give up? You got this! Come on! Hang in there! No? You give up? Well my friend, it is...........an Arab! Arabs are people who speak Arabic, but not in every case, and who live in Arab countries, but not in every case. That was pretty fun right?

Qhirsty Qhursday

It's Thursday and it's been raining all day. Tomorrow will be Friday and we all hope it doesn't rain all day. Our commemorative Obama plates will be full of food and our telephones will be off the hook with friendly robo calls who won't be selling us anything, but just calling to chat. The landlord will stop by for a beer and sit down on the couch and say, "You guys are kinda cool after all!" The horses will be a distant memory and the light will shine from our hearts into our beds or maybe the refrigerator or maybe the basement.
remind me to do my laundry this weekend.
