Craigslist Anyone?
 

I know there is a lot of controversy about Craigslist in regards to scams, unethical practices, & just a general shadieness of it's operations.
Having said that, has anyone here used it's services?
I have gotten rid of an old metal bunkbed frame through the free section.
Our Church would have gotten free pews if we had our own building & I got two pairs of speakers one of which they do not make anymore.
When my wife found out I had gotten these two sets of speakers, she went ballistic like this:blah:smack
She obviosly didn't know the value of finding a set of speakers that aren't being made anymore.
My kids sometimes enjoy raising her blood preasure by saying, "mom, dad is online on Craigslist looking for free speakers again!":foottap
The response from my wife is kind of like when Donald Duck gets upset.:girlytantrum
Last year, I just happened to click online & a fellow said that he was putting out an almost new all in one Canon printer outside first come first served.
Our kids got an almost new printer for nothing as it was just 5 minutes away.:thumbsup

Anyone else used it?

I use it regularly to find roommates and to buy, sell, or give away items.

I also use it to find things to do.

I used Craigslist to find the house to rent that I live in now.

I also used it last November when my daughter was having a Birthday & she wanted a 4G Ipod & I found one online--never used because a grandpa bought it for his wife & she didn't know how to use it.
I got it for 60% of what they go for used!

There are lots of services provided on CL. When browsing CL you are just one or two mouse clicks away from porn.

Ron,

I have a few times. I've sold a bed and two couches on Craigslist.

The last time was on New Year's Day. I told my son that I sold my couch and they were coming to pick it up. He said, "mom, you need to be careful".......so, then that spooked me.

I called my neighbor and asked if they were watching football and would they mind at 2:00 to come over and watch it at my house for a little bit. I told her what I was doing and she about had a cow and said, yes, Eric and I will be over!

Well, Eric is about 6'2 and a healthy looking guy. So, the doorbell rings and these two guys are standing there and they had rented a U-haul van. I was never so glad to have warm bodies sitting on my couch as I was then. There was no incident, but I did realized the situation I had put myself in and I will NOT do that again.

I was so happy that my neighbors were available that I gave them a huge tin of expensive nuts I had received for Christmas!!!!

The same with the Buy & Sell or the Vancouver Sun Newspaper, so your point is?

I just used it last week to sell a weight set that I no longer used.
