What's that in the background?

Upon further review, I've decided that it's an umbrella.....

A poison tipped spy umbrella!

 

[Thehound]

i bet used as a weapon that umbrella could be deadly- no joke. Paranoid much? I'm more sketched out by the ads with messy bedrooms, stained sheets and disgusting garbage people post on list and jiji. Ugh- skusting terrible /beg my pard.

I'm going with umbrella on this one.

If that's the case, then I believe we have discovered the identity of the seller:

Be careful---this guy is a known CL scammer.

Umbrella in a stand beside a table. Obviously Al Qaeda.

When zoomed in, it definitely looks like the end of an umbrella:

They want you to think it's just an umbrella. Very clever....

I don't think that's a step. Looks like furniture

 

[Robert Sperling]

I'll play...Looks like a wooden foot stool with a screwdriver or drill sitting on top to me.

 

[InhumanResource]

Kinda looks like the barrel and wood grip of a gun. I'm sure it's not, but in Detroit you never know.

What? It's a screwdriver. I didn't register that as a step, either...it looked more like an old wooden toolbox. I guess it could be a step too. Definitely no gun present, though.

I would add that the legs of that table in the photo shows a table that wasn't cheap, not to mention those ceramic large tiles are exactly what I had installed in my home and they are $60.00 a box roughly 5.99 per Sq foot yeah only 5 tiles per box. Go by the amp

Probably the tip of an umbrella.

This. That's exactly what I thought. The ad looks totally legit, to me at least.

 

[gsquare]

It's a carrot. With a metal tip.

It is a metal-tipped carrot.

Looks

Looking to get a small amp locally and this popped up on CL. My area has a lot of CL scammers so I'm always on high alert. Wondering what you guys think that thing on the step looks like. I won't be calling this guy.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Feel free to turn this into a funny stuff in the background pics, CL or otherwise. Keep it within forum standards please.

Looks Iike an empty aquarium or terrarium. I dunno. Email him and ask for more pictures BEHIND the amp!!

What's the best umbrella for metal?

 

[GBassNorth]

this is it blown up my guess is a dust buster or dirt devil vacuum of some sort not a rifle barrel

I know exactly what that is, my ex-wife had one of those and a set of spare batteries to go with it.

There is NO WAY that it's a flashlight!

What's the best metal for tipped carrots

Those aren't even steps. It's a wooden box. That is also not a firearm at all.

The only thing I've learned in this thread is that people can be paranoid over stained pine and things that don't resemble guns.
