Adventures in Craigslist is a new whenever-we-find-something-interesting series in which we dive headfirst into the vast complexities of Washington, D.C.’s Craigslist. Today: how to sell a coffee table when you don’t have a camera.

Here’s an ad for a bamboo coffee table, good condition, “[g]reat for plants, photo display.” Says the seller, “we had in front of Christmas tree even, and put gifts on it.” Sounds lovely. Though we can’t help thinking that a photograph of the table in question, rather than an (admittedly detailed) Sharpie diagram of the table’s dimensions and features, might have helped seal the sale:

I’m willing to give a pass to the diagram, mostly because it injects some personality into the cold, cavernous white space of Craigslist. But was is it too much to ask to rotate the the image? On the adventurousness scale, we’ll give it two Cuccinellis.
