Craigslist is great
 
My wife is a borderline pack rat. In our previous home, we had an entire guest bedroom which was packed wall to wall floor to ceiling with her crap. and the only way you could get in was the small 18 inch wide path leading from the entryway door to the closet door. it was ridiculous. I have been trying for years to get her out of the mentality that sentimental value does not have to be placed on every single belonging a person ever had. I have slowly pulled her out of this mentality by asking 1) "When was the last time you even set eyes on this _______ let alone USED it!?" and 2) "Wouldn't you rather have $30 for it?" this week i have turned a hand full of misc crap i havn't even touched in a year into about $300 cash. Basically, the old saying is true... one man's trash is another man's treasure. Since i started using craigslist over a year ago to actively sell items i have made about $1,200 have any of you had much success on craigslist?

cant talk about succes, but gotta check this out, there's enough crap in my house to start a colony. From porcelain horses to 100 year old work benches

Everytime I go there to sell something I, buy someone elses crap. :doh:

It's a great site. :up:

GoldenRivet 10-18-10 05:09 PM

Just made another $100 selling old crap :haha:

For the stuff you can't or don't care to sell, see if there is a Freecycle.org in your area. You will be surprised at what people will pick up. We use it all the time and it is great.

The only way to prevent that from continuing is to put your wife on craigslist... ;)

I've never bought anything off Craigslist, but I've looked a lot. I've also never tried to sell anything there, until now. One of my brand-new bass guitars is for sale there so I can upgrade to an even better one.

I hear some really wild stories of 'services' being offered on Craigslist.

Silly stuff like murder for hire, drugs being sold, prostitution, and on and on.

Makes ebay look like a pre-school playground.
