Up for sale is a flying carpet project. Currently doesn’t fly for me, but I feel that I just wasn’t believing enough in myself.

Original seller demonstrated the carpets impressive flying abilities, so I know it works. I may have eaten a few mushrooms prior to their demo, but they assured me it had nothing to do with it.

So far, the only thing it’s done for me is break a few bones (and my spirit). Up to new buyer to get it working again.

I lost the original instructions, sorry.

Price is $4,000

          I once folded up a dollar bill in to a paper airplane and threw it in to the Grand Canyon, so that’s probably my most bottom dollar.

          Speaking of the Grand Canyon, that would be a good place for someone to test this flying carpet.

    I hate to tell you this, but it looks like you only have a “stands and leans sexily against the wall” carpet.

      If you buy it and don’t want to bring it back to its former flying glory, that’s fine by me. It does look pretty sexy though.

      I may have picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

    Does it come with accessories? Like jet engine, helmet or any apparell supplied by Acme?

      Now that you mentioned it, I vaguely recall the original owner had a motor attached. He mentioned it wasn’t needed and didn’t include it in the sale. Because of this, I’m unable to pass it along.

        Have you considered the absence of such element may be linked to the malfunction of the item?

            I believe in you as well. I just lack confidence on the item at hand. I have a firm suspicion you were mislead.

              Fair point, guess you can’t trust anyone these days. I’ll keep that in mind the next time someone tries to sell me something.

              On a side note, I’m off to go look at a talking fish that someone has for sale.

      I went over and tried to count, but lost track after I ran out of fingers and toes…so there are at least 20 threads.

          You drive a hard bargain. I’ll accept the offer if you also promise to never stop believing in yourself. Otherwise you end up selling broken flying carpets at blowout prices.

            Also I just bought a rug earlier today for my wife’s birthday. It didn’t fly or anything, but I can swap the tags and she’ll think I’m awesome.

                Oh definitely. She actually had ankle surgery today so she is so high she’ll never know anyhow. Plus she’s on here occasionally, and she knows as well as I do, no one can lie on the internet. I believe you’re a solid business person selling me a solid product. The Internet forbids otherwise.

                Nice doing business with you. I’ll buzz your house once I get this baby flying.

            Is it cool if I already did but promise to start believing in myself again from now on?

            If I can get my wife to stick around for 17 years I bet I can get this to fly.

            Might take some shrooms but I’m willing to risk it…
