A woman scored a sueded couch for $200, and $260 retail value end tables for $37.50 on craigslist. She's one of the craigslist "early responders," who troll the site regularly, sometimes many times a day, looking for good deals.
This according to a piece in the "Home" section of today's Washington Post, which has a feature article titled "Click and Brag." As I espouse in my ebook about craigslist, "Making Money (and Getting a Life?) via Craigslist": only $8.95!" (http://www.aolmemorabilia.com/clslscrgs.html), the earlybirds definitely get the..er, worms on CL.
The Post piece also urges you to pick up quickly, have cash in hand, and to exchange phone #s with the seller to check if the item is still free, if necessary, and to get directions.

Getting Great Scores on Craigslist

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy getting your newsletters and would like to introduce myself.
My name is Rita and I have been selling on e-Bay for almost 7 years and live in Las Vegas, NV. I just found Craigs List a couple of months ago and have found some great deals as I sell mostly vintage glassware. I'm addicted to auctions, flea markets, yard and garage sales and have been since my first one back in 1973, I was 16 years old!
Keep up the good work and have a wonderful weekend! Rita
