Craigslist is another one of those sites that anyone who spends any amount of time on the internet should know about. It’s a simple, easy way for you to sell/buy crap from all over the land and best of all it’s free. This site has proved invaluable to me over the last year or two, here’s why:
- Bought both of my motorcycles; 1 from WV and 1 from MD
- Set up my first ever photoshoot by posting an ad, which led to my second
- Sold my motorcycle jacket when I replaced it with a better one
- Sold my sub woofers and amp that I had since high school
- Sold a voucher for dinner on The Odyssey just last night (prompted this post)
- Sold a shit-ton of random crap when we moved last year
- Some other random stuff I can’t remember right now
The only thing that annoys me about the site is you’re never told why a post of yours gets flagged or deleted. I’ve had seemingly harmless posts, including a recent one about looking for someone to design my next tattoo, get deleted. It didn’t violate any terms of service as far as I know and it definitely wasn’t offensive so I’m left wondering what the hell I did wrong. This is actually my third ad to be removed and it’s starting to get to me a little.
That said, it’s free, it works well and I’ll certainly keep using it… and so should you.
