DETROIT—Sources reported sighting an ad listing a VCR for sale by the citizens of Detroit on Wednesday.
Due to financial struggles, it appears the 698,012 residents of Detroit have been driven to taking various measures for some extra cash.
The listing describes the 1998 Toshiba videocassette recorder as in “pretty good” condition.

It goes on to specify that the rewind button on the device itself is “a little wobbly,” but suggests mainly using the remote control instead.
As a bonus, the remote features one Duracell and one Rayovac AA battery already inside. Although the battery cover is held in place by a piece of electrical tape, Detroit reports, “[the remote control] works fine.”
Residents of Lowell, AR are believed to have looked at the ad for “quite some time,” sources report, which may indicate some degree of interest.
As of yet, no contact between the two cities has occurred.
