I heart Craiglist. I love the concept, I love the community, and I love the iPhone app. I love it. Those aren't even the best reasons why I love craigslist:
My first craigslist success came with this lovely outdoor 6 piece dining set. It's in great condition, only a couple of spots where rust has come in but they are barely noticeable. I got the whole set for $70.00 from a girl who posted on craigslist because it came with her house and she wanted something different. The cushions came from Garden Ridge at $29.99 a pop. That's a 6 piece dining set that goes nicely under our pergola for only $250.00. We have already used it a ton to enjoy nice evenings or to do work on a lovely 80 degree day like today! Pumped.
Yes, this is my dear happy place. My wine table. Brand new, still had the stickers on it but the guy didn't want it anymore. He put it on craigslist for $40.00 It holds 16 bottles of wine so if anyone would like to help me fill it up so it doesn't look so bare I wouldn't hate ya! :)
Last but not least, the amazing
recliner I told you about last week. Craiglist perfection. $125.00 for a slice of heaven :) Thanks craigslist!
I definitely am cautious when looking at craiglist but a lot of times, (as in the case with 2 of the 3 items above) people are given items they don't need or buy things that don't end up working in their scheme and just want to get rid of them. They either haven't used or barely use the items and end up passing it on to those of us Craigslist window shoppers who just can't pass up a good deal. I'm sure there will be a time when I jump on something I don't need it or it ends up being a bad decision, and I promise I will blog about it, but until then, my heart beats strong for craiglist!!! Next time you need something be sure to check it out first, you may find what you are looking for and more!
