Okay so I just found out something I think is GREAT! I'm sure people know exactly what I'm talking about and have just been keeping it quiet!! Just kidding y'all!

Really who knew about this craigslist !!!!

I had never heard of it before!

Free stuff! OMG! (Oh My Gorsh!)

Pets, stuff for sale!

I can not believe this stuff lol

I'm keeping my eye out for a Queen size mattress/box springs and a Mini pin! LOL

Just pick your state or city from the right side list~

This is Great! LOL

Okay so I am easily amused....

The naughty stuff on there is more fun than "free mattress and box spring." Expand your horizons, nana.

exotic I think. hahaha

[StrawartS 2]

I was thinking of the personal ads...they post stuff like "I'm just looking for someone to make out with." Or replace "make out" with something a little more saucy.

I've gotten several acting auditions from it.

No, Strawarts... not porn.

Get your mind out of the gutter!:heh:

["Just" Paul 1]

Yeah, but what if it is a REALLY BIG MATTRESS?

I heard about a guy who, with starting with a red paperclip, he traded over and over again till he got a house. yes...he traded a red paper clip or a home. a nice home too. it was cool.

Check out the freecycle sites as well. It's basically well meaning people who have items which still have a useful life but no use. I have seen cars and computers and above ground pools given away. Mostly its smaller items like books and baby clothes, but it cant hurt.

I joined the local freecycle with the intention of avoiding a garage sale -- lots of nice stuff to get rid of, but garage sales aren't my thing, so it was either find a home for it, or trash it.

I became so disgusted with the site that I quit after about 4 days. Hopefully other regions have better membership than we did. I posted a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop that still worked as good as the day I bought it. I just didn't need it since I got a new one and DH had a better one. Every single response was like, "Can you post the specs so I know if it's good enough? I already have a computer but I'll take it for free!" or, "Would you upgrade XYZ for me before I take it?", or "What else comes with it? Do you have a desk or bag or anything? Software?" That kind of behavior sickened me. It's like -- come on, it's free, what do you want?? DH posted 3 suits, all of which originally cost over $600. One cost over $1k. He's outgrown them *ahem*, and has purchaed new ones in a a larger size, so he figured there might be someone out there needing them for a job interview, or just to have on hand in case of emergency. He was asked, "Will you pay to have them tailored to fit me? I want them but not if I have to pay to make them fit."

Ya I can see where thats a bit silly!

I have seen spam on the CL too but it gets flagged pretty quick
