12 Gems From The Darkest Depths Of Classified Ads


Everybody has something to sell. That’s one of the many truisms of modern life, and of life in any historical era. With the internet, the weirdest of the marketplace can now come directly to you. Everything you want, didn’t yet know you want, or never would’ve wanted at all is dazzlingly, spectacularly available.
