Everyone puts their crap up at Craigslist now:

2 pc Sofa Cum Bed (almost New) Real Good Price - $500

It is THE ugliest piece of furniture I've ever seen...what is this moron thinking?

They're new. I think I'd rather have those than some couches I've seen on campus.

call me crazy, but calling a (used) piece of furniture a "cum bed" (yes, i know it means Sofa with Bed) doesn't seem like the best marketing to me.

"I start fires!"

Yes, I'm sure that there IS bigger crap on Craigslist.

But, like MaxPower2k3 said, calling a sofa a "cum bed" is kind of, well, er...GROSS.

Yes, except I think they mean it as "together"

And yes, I had to look it up.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm slow.

I find the use of the Latin word "cum" in the seller's vernacular to be amusing:

i moved into a bigger house now and these sofas doesnot match my current house color scheme so i am selling them.
anyone is welcome to buy them but will have to arrange pickup since i donot provide shipping
And they are pretty hideous besides.

Couches are expensive, you ever go to a furniture store? ****, they'd probably charge $1000 for those, on sale! Well I guess the poster mentions a $1800 price tag, so there you go.

I do think they're ugly, but I've seen much worse.

The sofas ain't that bad. It's the cushions which are throwing you all off.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.
