I think Craigslist gets a bit of a bad rap these days because of some robberies and murders associated with it as well as the "adult" content but that aside, it's a great way to not only get rid of unwanted items but for people looking for jobs and even those "Missed Opportunity" ads where someone says something like, "You, the girl in the red coat I saw riding the #7 bus - you are beautiful. Call me!" :)Rosy Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156447894512749413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146286857215408059.post-59847372862782058832014-06-11T06:03:39.414-07:002014-06-11T06:03:39.414-07:00Oh the pain of a yard sale!

Never again for me, that is for sure!<br /><br />I did discover Craigslist last year, though, and have made a nice amount of change by trying to sell my items there rather than automatically taking them to the Goodwill, which is what I've generally done. It's fun, and I'm always surprised at what sells (old records, two used ice chests, bike, bike rack) versus what doesn't (my ample collection of inherited silver and crystal, a Tiffany glass vase I've been trying to get rid of since receiving it as a gift, oak furniture (oh,that 80's oak furniture . . . what were we thinking, and why did we buy so much of it?!). If the items don't sell after two weeks, then I donate them, secure in the knowledge that they apparently are worthless! :-)<br />Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248579159497266955noreply@blogger.com
