What did we do before Craigs List? I had to stop and think about this for a while - I guess if we needed to advertise something to sell, we either had to call up our local newspaper and actually run an ad in the "For Sale" section or put up a sign at the local grocery store (which never worked anyway!) And if we were looking for something to buy???? Then it was scour the weekly paper or hit every garage sale in the area!
Now we're spoiled - with one click of the mouse, we can go to a specific category and scroll through hundreds and hundreds of items, find an item we want to look at (most of them have pictures posted), shoot a quick email to the person with any questions and then if we're still interested, set up a time to go see the item! And if we're not interested anymore, we haven't wasted any gas or a lot of time!
I've been checking Craigs List a LOT lately as there were several things we actually needed to buy and "used" was just fine with us! So in the last month we've acquired a huge,upright, almost new freezer, a wonderful wood stove for the basement, a large bookshelf to put in the storage room (for all the books that are STILL in boxes) and a desk for Glenn's office!
Now if someone would just buy the TV we have for sale on Craigs List, I would be VERY happy!
