Have you tried contacting her about the bar? You might want to say that you have sellers remorse, and want it back? Either that, or just confront her about it, and let her know how uncool it was for her to mislead you like that. You could call her on her lie that the bar is from the Florida Keys, and also that she cannot use your image to post in her ad. You might also mention something about how her deceptive actions have made you lose faith in humanity, and that some day she will get her karmic payback for this (I know the might sound a little lame, but it really seems to work with numbskulls like that - one time a meter maid gave me a ticket when I had just parked and was getting ready to put change in the meter. no amount of complaining about how unfair it was would help, in fact she seemed to get off on that. so as I walked away, I made an off the cuff remark about how she knew that she was doing the wrong thing, and taking pleasure in it, and for that reason she will someday reap her karmic reward. I just kind of muttered it as a parting shot as I was walking away, but wow, it really got to her and she had a major meltdown about it!!!).

You should post a "responding" ad on Craigslist, telling people that she is being dishonest about the bar being from the Florida Keys, and how she begged and pleaded with you forever and gave you sob stories so you would give her a good deal on the bar that was going to "look so great in her place".

OR...
You can post a link to her ad, and all of us here can post responses on Craigslist to her ad, saying how she decieved you, and that the bar isn't from the Keys. More than a few of us are sick and tired of this "ooooo gimme gimme a good deal so I can flip it" attitude these days, and I'm sure we'd have no problem posting a few responding ads. :D
