So instead, I thought it would be fun (and hopefully funny) to share some of the things I probably won’t buy on Craigslist

I get lots of questions from readers who are having trouble selling things on Craigslist in a timely fashion. Sometimes they say it takes them weeks and months to sell one small item — and in my opinion, that’s just not worth the time and effort.

Today I’m continuing my Craigslist 101 series to {hopefully} answer some of the many questions I get, asking how we sold our house on Craigslist.

Selling on Craigslist takes a lot more time than just [...]

source: If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know that I have a mini infatuation with Craigslist…  it’s like the hugest on-line garage sale and I just LOVE it! I’ve found so many great deals and steals, and I’ve sold THOUSANDS of dollars worth of “stuff” over the last 3 years… seriously! Craigslist is an amazing FREE tool that I use to my advantage, but over the past several months, I’ve come to realize that many [...]

Have you ever purchased or sold anything on Craigslist? If not, let me fill you in on what you’re missing. It’s like the ultimate online garage sale! Here’s my latest purchase — just bought it today! A nearly new IKEA couch, slipcover and ottoman for $250. I have used Craigslist extensively for the past 2 years.
