What the heck was I just involved in? (Weird Craigslist Experience)

I’ve lived and travelled across the east, central, and southern United States, and everywhere I go I see small hand made signs posted on roadsides advertising “new” mattresses with a phone number. I’ve always wondered where these mattresses came from. I always suspected they were used mattresses with a new outer wrapping and label.
