For sale is one ginormous, black, roof top box that was only used a handful of times. Here is the story: My friends Scott and Lara moved to Colorado from Florida with their five kids. In their first year here, they decided to embrace the Colorado lifestyle. Scott stopped shaping his eyebrows, Lara became a vegan, they bought a Mercedes SUV at Murray Motors, they went to Sports Authority and dropped a small fortune on skis and ski apparel, and then they bought this ridiculous box to schlep it all up to the mountains every weekend. They basked in their newly discovered Rocky Mountain high, posting pictures of themselves skiing on Facebook (well mostly drinking at the base), telling anyone who would listen how much they loved Breckenridge over Vail, you know, cause there weren't as many tourists there, and regaling how ski school had changed their kid's lives, giving them more confidence than they had ever had before. Then, in a flash, Scott woke up one morning in mid June and realized he is a Jew from Boca Raton. He missed eating Rueben sandwiches at The Boca Raton Resort and Club, which he was still paying yearly dues on because the initiation was too ridiculous to give up his membership. They sold everything they owned and blew town like they owed Elway money. Because they couldn't give this stupid box away in mid June, Scott saddled me with it and asked me to sell it for him. It now sits in my basement, an obtrusive shrine to how idiotic my buddy is. He wants $500, which is why I have listed it for $300/obo. I am really hoping someone buys it, not because I am going to give him a red cent of the money, but rather because I will use the money to buy a plane ticket to fly down and see him, where I will demand to go to his country club, just to see the faces of everyone down there when he shows up with an Iranian guy. Seriously--good deal. Buy it and get it the fuck out of my basement.

Best I could muster on the last thing I sold for a friend...

I'm told this is the DD-Deluxe model of bike travel cases. Holds two of them fancy road bikes and all your Ironman/Ironwoman gear. So I'm told. I do not have any direct knowledge of such fanciful things, and you will understand why I do not when you come buy this thing and see my old, fat, slow ass.

Yea, these are $579.95 new PLUS shipping cost and possible TAXES!. Get it here today, or tomorrow, but not Thursday (really), for the low, low price of $325.

Cash only, smackers, bucks.* No trade offers please.

I do not know if your Kevlar carbon fiber gossamer fairy fart winged Schwinn will fit. The specs are available on this website (http://trisports.com/triall3sporv1.html)

I expect anyone motivated enough to swim, ride a bike, run, and go looking for a travel container to go to far off places and do it all over again, has the fortitude to do a little research.

Please leave a TELEPHONE number in your e-mail request or I will not respond. Please no "is this still available" e-mails. If you see this ad, it's still available. As should be fairly evident by the presence of the ad, I know how to use a computer (I know, shocking) and both post AND delete ads on Craigslist.

*I accept $100, $20, $10 and $5 bills in any combination equal too, or exceeding the final price. No socks full of dirty coins, no car wash tokens, and absolutely, positively, no herbal (or is that hairball?) "medicinal" product, card or no card. On the upside, you DO NOT have to wear a pink tutu and dance a Pirouette to purchase this item, and I promise not to laugh if you are wearing those stupid looking toe shoes and sucking on a Vente Skinny Vanilla Chai Pudding Cupcake (No-whip) Latte.

Sold in 2days to the first respondent. [ROFL1]

That was funny. Belongs on the Best of Craigslist.

If you have a few hours (and a six-pack or two), have a look through this stuff:
