Funny. For some reason, the word came to mind, but I wasn't sure I was
using it right. I had very little success trying to find a definition.
IIRC, it's southern Italian for "dumbass" or thereabouts. There's just
something pleasing about the word...like it really fits its intended target.

Welcome to real life. Shopping for tools (or anything else for that
matter) on Craigslist, eBay, garage/estate sales, or, for that matter,
this group is a fairy tale experience. "Sometimes you gotta kiss a
lotta frogs to get a prince!"
Hey! I got dibs on that round-handled ratchet screwdriver from Taiwan.
Let go, it's mine!

Aye, that they do. Caveat emptor reigns supreme.

Well, seeing as how it's you, Larry. I'll be kind. Send me the
screwdriver and five bucks and I'll promise you'll never have to look at
it again. I'm easy but not THAT easy<g>
I saw it too. Most of the stuff on craigslist is overpriced junk.

Ah - "stunade" - an expression I haven't heard in years. Didn't know you

Sure does fit though!

yep. I bought my first purchase from craigslist yesterday, a broken
lawn mower tractor for $50. It is not that broken, it turned out to
have a gas-logged float and a bad battery.

A lot of it is. OTOH, I recently picked up some really nice cabinet grade
3/4" birch plywood for like 1/4 of the new price. You have to keep looking
for those diamonds in the rough.

OK, I give, I googled it, looked at various slang dictionaries, and still
couldn't find anything. I get a drift of the connotation from the context,
but what exactly, does it mean?

And sometimes folks list a prince only to deliver a frog.

I somehow ended up with one of those in the same bold and vivid
red/white coloration. (Gift from female family member, no doubt.)
How much is it worth to you, bubba? To find these priceless objects in
working order is quite rare!
