Bounty Board: De Saturday Classifieds — Goat Wanted, House For Sale (Haunted), and Somebody Looking for a Husband Who 'Has Teeth'

Welcome to de Bounty Board — Guyana’s most honest classifieds section, where the ads say what they actually mean, the sellers tell you what is actually wrong with the item, and the wanted ads are as specific as they need to be.

Here’s what came across my desk this week.

FOR SALE

2014 Toyota Premio — “barely used” Mileage: unknown (odometer broken since 2019). Air conditioning works intermittently, depending on the mood of the compressor. Passenger window does not roll down. Driver window does not roll up. Otherwise perfect. $1.2M OBO. Contact Mr. Ramlakhan, call after 6 PM because during the day he is avoiding his brother-in-law.

Back-a-Truck here, reporting from the actual back of an actual truck parked on Regent Street because that is where the stories live. Saturday morning in Guyana is its own entire genre of human experience, and today I have been taking notes.

06:14 — Bourda Market, Opposite the Bus Park

A woman is arguing with a vendor about the price of bora. The bora is $400 a bundle. The woman is offering $300. The vendor says $400 is the price. The woman says last week it was $350. The vendor says last week was last week. The woman says her husband will be upset if she pays $400. The vendor says the husband is not the one selling the bora.

1. DE PROVIDENCE DIVORCE

Okay okay okay. I cannot say names. I WILL NOT say names. But you know the couple in Providence with the house that has the three fountains in front? The one where the wife was always posting on Instagram with the captions about “my king”? The one where the husband drives the black Prado with the personalized plate?
