Craig's List

[daflyboys]

Anyone used this? If so what for? Just wondering what appeal it has as it's a prettly simple layout, but the price seems right. How does it survive?

Re: Craig's List

I've replaced EBAY with CraigsList. I just meet people face to face now to buy and sell stuff. Cash only makes all the difference in the world. I've probably bought and sold 50 or 60 items on their since March or so. I'd recommend it to anyone. Just make sure when you post something that you put in the title "Cash only". That scares away paypal scams as well as bad checks and fake money orders.

I also heard that companies will post jobs on Craig's too, has anyone heard that?

Yes, jobs will post on there also. Craig's List is far superior to ebay and its all Im going to be using from now on, ebay takes their fees and then paypal takes their fees but yet when I get shafted paypal wants me to pay them to look into it, the entire setup is a joke if you ask me.

Re: Craig's List

Hmmm....the more I look at this, the more I like it. Even has some pretty good real estate listings.

Re: Craig's List

WOW! I never heard of that site before but goodness it is great. I'm going to be moving and I'm gonna need to furnish my place. Might try and pick up all the free stuff I can get. Also, under the electronics section you will see people getting rid of huge TV's for low prices! Some are crap but some are quality.

It also provides humor, as you can browse the personals and judge people.

I love craigslist... I hop on there once or twice a day.

Re: Craig's List

I browse for entertainment purposes. Wouldn't want to meet someone off the internet face to face though. Good way to get jacked, robbed and raped.

that's why you meet in a public place lol. when i've sold games and my first IPod, we've met at corner of the freeway and a very busy street at a gas station.

Re: Craig's List

I always meet people in a busy store parking lot. I leave my wallet locked up in the glovebox and don't carry anymore cash than what I'm paying for the item with.

Re: Craig's List

I found my apartment on Craigslist.

Re: Craig's List

I just checked out the jobs posted on there. Looks decent. I may have to see if I can purchase anything in my area.

Re: Craig's List

Have done over 60 transactions on craigslist and never had a problem. Pretty simple: meet during the day and in a busy parking lot. Also always get their cell phone number before you meet and call them right before the meeting time. If you get jacked on craigslist, you probably did not play the game correctly.
