Adventures on Craigslist

So daughter's # 1 and 2 are moving out. One across the bay to a house that has a small room and she will not need all of the items she had when she lived in a larger house in college. 2 is moving to New Zealand! She does not need her dresser and items that are too big to store here...so yesterday I listed a whole lot on craigslist.

And I got a lot of replies...

*For a $15 bathroom shelf- I live in Daly City...are you willing to meet me half way?
(seriously you want me to drive 15 minutes and a gallon of gas to meet someone I don't know all to make $15?)

*For an IKEA 6 drawer chest $125- I really, really want this! I have been looking for one for a long time! Will you hold it until August?
(If you pay me for it now I will hold it until August 1.)  

*For a set of Corelle dishes $10- I love these. Will you take $5?

* For a heavy duty metal full size bed frame with castors $15- How old is the mattress and will you deliver it?

The dresser and an ice cream maker sold...the people were nice and came right on over didn't ask if we would take less $$...you just never know what to expect with craigslist!

*LIVESTRONG*LOVESTRONGER*LAUGH HARDER*HAPPY 4TH OF JULY*

I've only used Craig's list once, and it was fine. But I took a boy along with me just in case! :). Ya never know.

This is the kind of stuff that happens to me. You read all the time about OTHER people making money or saving money with Craig's List and you wonder why this doesn't happen for you.
