Hero prankster puts Yahoo up for sale on Craigslist
Things just keep getting worse for Yahoo.
In case Yahoo's short-term outlook wasn't bleak enough, the company has now been listed in for sale ad on Craigslist.

Though hilarious, the fake ad -- posted to Craigslist Thursday -- will likely hit a little too close to home for some.
For one, the ad lists the embattled Internet giant for $8 billion OBO (or best offer) -- a figure that has been widely reported to be at the top of the range of what the company could fetch on the open market.
"A rare find, this one-of-a-kind Internet original is now available to the public for a limited time," the ad reads.
"A beautiful piece in good-to-fair condition, showing some signs of wear but easily restored in the hands of the right person. Sadly, the original owners can no longer maintain it."
And did we mention it was listed in the antiques section of Craigslist? Better still though, is what the ad says comes included in the deal:
1 billion users, more or less
Web email system (now 62% spam free!)
Bottomless archive of Kim Kardashian photos
Flickr & Tumblr
Fully equipped Nautilus gym
A really nice cafeteria
The Yahoo Weather app
Several warehouses filled with Kind bars
Katie Couric
Ouch.
