BAD pole offered on craigslist? GAH!

Posted by DragonPhoenix on October 17, 2010 at 4:49 am

I was browsing almost everything on craigslist and spotted a dance pole. I could tell it was one of the crappy BAD ones just from seeing the name of it (Hot Pink Dance Pole Kit) and the price wanted so I peeked then looked it up and it’s one commonly found at Spencers stores? Here’s the ad right here: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/hab/2008362945.html.

I HAD to reply to it, I HAD to! >.< :

Seeing that its not one of the top three GOOD ones makes me want to curl up and cry https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

I see SO many bad poles on craigslist. I am at the point that if you do not research what you are buying then it is your own fault.

I almost brought one of those "fake" poles. What attracted me was the price, however, I did my research and invested in an x-pole. I believe if you’re serious about pole then you will look around, check reviews, and finally settle on one that does the job correctly and safely….

Might see me at a future Bmore pole jam or an event sometime if I’m able to make it : D

I already have an idea of what I want to get, either a 45mm chrom X-Pole or a red Lil Mynx https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif . I felt I had to reply to the ad though, maybe save someone from getting screwed over with a bad pole. I would figure a pole is a pole and wouldn’t think there’s a such thing as a bad one so I’d end up wasting my money on whatever looks good, if I hadn’t came here and learned about them so I hope that I helped at least one person with making the right decision on not getting something dangerous https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

It’s fine that you replied, but keep in mind that not everyone wants an expensive pole for legitimate pole fitness. A lot of people just want a pole that they can prance around, shake their butt and engage in stripper roleplay. And for that, a cheap pole is fine.
