Posted One Day, Sold the Next

I've said before and I'll say it again, Craigslist is one of the most consistently useful sites I go to.

Last week, on Friday, I posted an ad for my old beat up pick up truck. Within four hours, I had two highly motivated people interested in coming out to buy it almost sight unseen. The first email got first dibs and he rolled out at 10 on Saturday morning, checked it over a bit and gave me cash. Not all of what I was asking but I did sell the truck for more than I bought it for and that's almost always a good deal.

Craigslist doesn't work as well for more expensive cars because its less oriented towards those folks with lots of money. But is an excellent resource to parcel off smaller and less expensive items or older cars and trucks.

I also got rid of our old queen mattress set and futon, almost as easily. Gotta love it when you can post an ad and have someone come out and take away stuff you don't want anymore and they're happy to take it!
