Hurteau: Craigslist Swing Set, Deer Not Included
By Dave Hurteau
So the kids are about that age where my wife and I are thinking about getting a swing set for the backyard. And, truth be known, there isn’t as much venison in the freezer this year as I would like. So you can imagine how excited I was to see this Craigslist post:
Commercial Swing Set and Slide – $850
Commercial Swing Set and Slide: Heavy Duty This is the Type used at Elementary Schools.
An Additional Slide is also available, and can be purchased separate [sic]. Additional Playground equipment is also available[.] Deer is not included.
That is, until I read that last sentence. Deer not included!? C’mon!
Who’s going to pay $850 for a swing set with no deer?
[Actually, I saw this post on a website called You Suck At Craigslist, whose existence says something both hilarious and a little troubling about the state of humanity.]

does it come with the rigging to hang deer with?
That is recycling at its best. A true multi use structure that any serious hunter / parent should have.
The swing set is grossly overpriced, insist on the deer too! (But only if ifs processed already and frozen.)
kinda seems like me with my deer skinner that goes in the trailor hitch i get some looks when i pass people on the interstate doing 65 with a deer hanging off the back of my suv
Thank you for the laugh David.
hang an old engine block up by the deer and its a deal!
I especially like how the person pulled back the swing next to it ... nothing like preparation!
The slide looks as if it doesn't end!
who would pay 850$ for that piece of junk?funny post though!Good luck finding a swing set
Thats funny! I think it should be more like $700 if the deer isn't included.
Hmmm.
Sniff sniff.
Bump bump.
I dunno.
Well, I guess so...
WHAM!
Fish on!
I guess I don't see how the advertisement of an overpriced swingset without the meat could justify the issuance of a challenge to a fight at least to the point of unconsciousness.
... and we always wondered what would happen if you swung all the way around...
I think the Legal Dept. must have insisted on the caveat as a defense against prosecution for attempting to sell wildlife. If there were children in the picture, they might not have noticed the same potential hazard.
