    Default craigslist

    We FINALLY have a craigslist in our area! Yay! Does anyone use these listings to get good secondhand deals? I'm hoping to find a good clothes dryer.

    We use cragislist, but we use cheapcycle more. We actually found our home on cheapcycle..LOL...we have gotten some great deals off both sites.

    I LOVE Craigslist! Whenever I need something, I always check it first!

    I've bought and sold on it, and have had really good experiences with it!

    When we lived in Florida I loved it. I got stuff off it, gave stuff away and sold stuff. I gave up on craigslist since we moved to NC in 2006. The few things I have tried to list on it were free items, and the only people that responded lived well over an hour from me and wanted me to deliver things to them, and didn't want to help with the cost of gas cause the items were listed for free. That stuff and everything since now gets dropped at goodwill.

    I don't use craigslist (CL) much, but I did sell my old car on there this past fall, and just yesterday I bought a nice futon couch on CL for $40.

    We do have a few things to sell that we should list on there.

    We recently found a great little car for dh, a 1997 Toyota Tercel for $1900, several hundred below book value. I love Craigslist!

    I just bought a marvelous, vintage dinette set for $85.00 off Craigslist.

    Look in the Gallery on here, I've posted pictures on it. Wanted people to see it because it is very artistic and a one of a kind piece.

    I saw that! You were very fortunate to find such a bargain.

    We LOVE craigslist! I check it daily just to see what's posted. We've bought and sold stuff there and have never had any problems! SSSOOO much easier than Ebay!

    Good Luck!
