AW - I used Craig's List to advertise a yard sale. Got a good response. And have bought a couple of items. Haven't tried to sell anything on it yet.
I wouldn't buy a car off of it. Mostly hucksters posing as private owners.
I was asking because the neighbor kid wants to buy a blackberry off there and I was wondering how will he know if it even works? Do they let you try it or is it based on the person?

I sold a stove...listed a few other items. Mostly I had people contact me and be interested then never show up to complete the deal.
PresidentJust a member of ACSC Board of TrusteesA lady that just moved in a few weeks ago said she has trouble with calling the number someone leaves and nobody ever gets back with her. It sounds like a hassle.

Okay, this is too funny. Thursday I got one of my daily emails from Cnet, entitled the "The Worst of Craigslist". There was a brief overview of what the article would be about and then I clicked the link to read the article. Boring. It's the comments after the article that I found entertaining. Observe:
Craig had such liberal Utopian hopes, but with all such liberal fantasies, CraigsList has just become the hip place to go to get scammed, spammed, find a prostitute, or to lure someone to their murder.
In all seriousness, this article is a sad excuse to write something. One persons trash is another persons treasure...who are YOU to judge. As already mentioned, broken tiles are used for mosiac projects all the time. The broken down bookcase could be used for kindling/firewood (depending on the finish). In short, don't be so narrow minded.
I am amused. LOL If you would like to read the article and the comments after: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10282065-71.html?tag=nl.e404
To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown (Downtown, Savannah )

I was the white guy with the black Burrberry jacket that you demanded I hand
over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also
asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across
this message. I'd like to apologize.
I didn't expect you to crap your pants when I drew my pistol after you took
my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and
it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that
Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a
shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very
intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?
I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd
come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it
was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and
wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come
help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or
Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your
situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes to
one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the
cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster.
I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your
bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the
line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't
know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your
service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office
with it. Oh well.
So, about your pants. I know that I was a little rough on you when you did
this whole attempted mugging thing, so I'd like to make it up to you. I'm
sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like
to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you
use, and was it liquid or powder? I'd also like to apologize for not killing
you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll
reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky.
If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and laundry. Peace!

I love it! Too bad there is no video.
