A 1998 BMW 528i for trade on Craigslist is pictured next to the Batmobile in Nashville, Tenn. (via Craigslist)

Parking your used car next to the Batmobile does not boost its value

1/20/2013

Oh, the power of Craigslist to reveal the short-sightedness of its users. This car owner in Nashville, Tenn., was apparently so eager to unload a respectable-looking '98 Beemer, that they forgot Lesson No.1 of Sales and Marketing: When you have an item to sell, do not place another item of greater value right next to it. You know, like, THE BATMOBILE. We're not sure how this used BMW 528i 5-speed ended up parked next to what appears to be Bruce Wayne's vehicle. But the fact that the seller never mentions it — just throws it up there with other pics in the family driveway and car specs — certainly gives it our vote for Best Craigslist Ad to Unknowingly Feature a Comic Book Hero.
