Trash can sales-Knucklehead of the week

With all the seriousness of the bailout plan I couldn't resist throwing in some pictures of why some places probably never sell. Pick any of the following for the knucklehead of the week.
Here's a brand new listing today at 9846 Coral Cove Cir. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Huntington-Beach/9846-Coral-Cove-Cir-92646/home/3775846

Could you have at least picked up the s*** in your living room? (or is that a bedroom?) I bet some of the better realtors in the area laugh when they see this also.

Do you like the gin bottle on the dresser? How about the fraternity brothers inflatable Coors-like bottle in the center? And WTF is that thing hanging from the ceiling? I think it's a noose so the owner can hang himself. Maybe he already did and the leftover rope is for the realtor who was too stupid to post this picture. They must think their place is so special they don't even need to clean up their crappy, boxy 1965 place. And the realtor's last words in the description: "This one's a winner." Umm..right.

I'm on a roll tonight so I'll throw another one out there in a minute. Today I took my wife out to test drive a car. She's never gone through the fun experience of dealing with car salespeople. I figure some of the ex realtors are probably working at some of these places now since they are loaded with slimeballs galore. She took one for a testdrive of which I asked her beforehand to have them give back the copy of your license they made when you are done. When she returned she watched our kid and I took it out. When I was done I walked inside and asked him for a copy of the license back. You can't be too protective of your personal information these days. Think I'm kidding? Read about Douglas Nissan of Orange: Four defendants: 43 counts of forgery, 31 counts of grand theft and one count of conspiracy to defraud. Sounds like a nice place to do business with. http://orangecountyda.com/home/index.asppage=8&recordid=1015&returnurl=index.asp?page3D8

When we were driving back home I asked my wife did she get the copy of her license back? She told me the guy said he never made one, he just entered the information in their computer. Lovely. I then handed her the piece of paper and told her rule number one: all these guys are liars and they will do what they can to sell you a car today.
Pretty much like many realtors. Here's a listing with only two pictures and this is one of them. Can you believe it?

And here's one for a backyard in Fountain Valley. I can see the realtor now. It has "plenty of potential."

And here's one with curb appeal in Long Beach. Just that someone ran over the curb a little too far in their excitement to see this place I guess:

Maybe the flip side of putting pictures up here like this is that the realtor doesn't want you to have any surprises when you see the property. The only surprise I would have is if one of these dumps actually sold.
