Patch scrolled through Craigslist to find some of the more unusual items for sale this week.
Because one man’s trash is another man’s giant roll of packing tape, Patch has scoured Craigslist in Milwaukee-area Patch communities to find some of the most interesting and unusual items posted for sale this week. The base of this lamp is indeed a faux golf bag, with persimmon-head drivers sticking out. “Perfect for your recroom, den or mancave,” reads the ad. They are advertised as authentic, and more than 3 feet across. You might find parents or grandparents in these old annuals, as early as 1916 or as recent as 1967. The ad says it’s perfect for a child’s room, but it would hit home for anyone who grew up with the 90-minute Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Show in the 1970s and 1980s. Here’s an easy way to give your kitchen a bit of a …

You can find all sorts of unusual treasures on Craiglist. Here are some of the more interesting items floating around this week.
Because one man’s trash is another man’s glass roosters, Patch has scoured Craigslist in Milwaukee-area Patch communities to find some of the most interesting and unusual items posted for sale this week. Going where no candy has ever gone before. Much to my surprise, it was not exactly Elvis. But a porcelain, lighted Christmas tree paying homage to jumpsuit Elvis is close enough for $125. Tab or Faygo Redpop, anyone? Rest assured, this is not a euphemism or arcane description of another item. It’s a bedpan, for $25. If we have to tell you that he played mostly for Kansas City and San Francisco, along with two appearances for the Green Bay Packers … it’s not worth the $15. Patch does not vouch for the quality or availability of any of the …

Folks put some unusual things for sale on Craigslist, and we've located some of those items from suburban communities listed this week.
Because one man’s trash is another man’s Marvin Martian hat, Patch has scoured Craigslist in Milwaukee-area Patch communities to find some of the most interesting and unusual items posted for sale this week. “Lime” as in “fruit lime?” Yes, indeed. You know it’s a good ad campaign when the star gets his own bobblehead. The best part of this description is the acknowledgment that “wife wants it gone.” Help a guy out for just $200. It’s a basket made entirely of dried, empty corn cobs and husks. The 128 represents how many kilobytes of memory it had. Which at the time was a tremendous increase over the Commodore 64. What better way to advertise your Windell Middlebrooks bobblehead or Commodore 128 computer? Patch does not vouch for the …

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. If you’ve ever wanted to be the only one on your block to own a particular item, this is undoubtedly the item. It’s just funny to see an item listed with one photo and two short sentences, asking $695,000. 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. Two words: Man Cave. 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…

Craiglist is a repository of the nostalgic, recycled and downright strange. See what folks in the Milwaukee area are putting up for sale this week.
Because one man’s trash is another man’s Rocky and Bullwinkle clock, Patch has scoured recent Craigslist in Milwaukee-area Patch communities to find some of the most interesting and unusual items posted for sale this week. A four-pack of bottles is for sale for $10, and the poster does not require that you pay in all singles. Priced to sell at $3,000, according to the post. Never been used. “Luke, I am your … sniff, sniff … wait, is that garbage? Oh, boy!” Even if your dog never wears it, the $5 might be worth it. It’s just $375 for the opportunity to bankrupt your best friends and party guests, 25 cents at a time. What to do with that money left over from that great deal on Nude Beer? Patch does not vouch for the quality or availability …
