Too funny! People keep calling about my $60 GI Joe dune buggy... "Does it run?"
 

Had a Craigslist ad up for a while for a GI Joe dune buggy. I've had five people call me to ask if it's street legal, does the engine run etc.!!! I've added text to the ad to make if very clear that if you're more than 12" tall, you can't drive it!

Maybe I need to retake the pics with a shoe next to it for perspective??? Does this look like a real dune buggy? If it WAS a real dune buggy, would it be $60? :(

Best I can do is $10

What size motor does it have?

I'll give you $15 if I can drive it first.

What kind of gas mileage does it get?

Is it street legal?

Any oil leaks or maintenance issues?

How is the title? Can I trade u for a tattoo or a massage?

Has it been driven in the wet? Any rust?

Most importantly.. Is it "well set up"?

Does it have a current emissions certification?

Can anyone in Phoenix recommend where to get a PPI on a GI Joe Dune Buggy?

Carfax shows it was wrecked by some girl named Barbi!

"It's dirty...:( "

"hey buddy? how much for the big-ass-dune-buggy-sized shoe?"

The interior looks very plastic ?

Has it ever been rolled ?

Where did you find tile that big?

Is that real dirt on the hood, or has it been airbrushed on?

"My name is Hugh Jass, I'm the son of the recently deposed minister of left-handed metric crescent wrenches. I'm currently stationed in Arabia with the French Foreign Legion. I will send you a cashier's check for the price plus $5000 and my agent will come by to pick up the item."

Excellent candidate for a backdate conversion :D

Pretty much what I'd expect.

I think it's factory original airbrushed dirt.

Can't wait to start fielding calls about this one...

"Does your a** get hot when sitting in that back seat?"

This level of cluelessness reminds me of talking to the woman at the front desk at Discovery Place in Charlotte when we took our kids up there to see the animatronic dinosaur exhibit.

She told us we wouldn't believe how many calls they had gotten asking what were the times they fed the dinosaurs.

why are you trying to sell a dune buggy that doesn't run ? that's why I don't buy stuff off CL

Can it run over a cactus? My neighbors saguaro fell across my driveway.

Are those Michelle Lynn's tires?

$60?



damnnn, want to buy all my old redline wheel Hotwheels, AFX slot cars, and Tonka Trucks?


Lots of room for markup, I'll sell cheap to a fellow pelican.

I am dying laughing. You guys are a hoot!

Well, it's killing me. Does it run?

If it does, I'm pretty solid at $45 without a PPI.

Same buggy as this one:
2000 Gi Joe 1 6 Scale Chenowth Desert Strike Dune Buggy | eBay

and this one:
Gi Joe Desert Light Strike Vehicle Dune Buggy Chenowth Ultimate Soldier Hasbro | eBay

Redlines??? Whatcha got??? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat3.gif

Is this still for sale?
Has it had its IMS bearing replaced?

Hello, my name is Jasper. I am representative of President of Nigeria. He has expressed very much interest in your dune buggy and is willing to send extra funds to cover the costs of shipping and your valuable time. He very much wants to know if the engines still in working conditions and the tires hold air. Please contact me at 03-@#$-$%^& so we can finalize the transfer of $1,000,000 U.S. to your account.

Excellent, they should record these calls and play them back for some fund raising event.
