To add to Alisa's collection

Alisa, you inspired me to check out the free section of Craigslist. Here is one that got a chuckle out of me :

Vitamins of death
i bought one-a-day weight smart vitamins, thinking that the added bonus of a metabolism boost would make me keep up with taking the vitamins. i'd read reviews that said they were pretty prone to causing nausea, but i've got a super strong stomach so i bought them anyway. i've thrown up both times i've tried them, even with a solid meal and a lot of water first. maybe their trick for weight control is that you can't actually keep food down? if anyone would like to try their hand (and stomach) at them without wasting $8, i've got a full bottle minus a few.

Anyone? Anyone?

Is this the bulimia pill? Depending on my mood, I might be interested in a free bottle. But most of the time, I'd pass.
Has this person never heard of throwing something away? I think a barely-working treadmill is on the line of acceptable, but an opened bottle of quack medicine is beyond even my limit.
My advice? Exercise self control.
