I Love Craigslist ...

So I wanted a few things for my new place and as always the first place I search is Craigslist. I have sold so many things through them and purchased even more. I would rather buy good quality wooden furniture used than buy cheap Ikea furniture new. I had been looking for this exact kitchen set for a while and every time I found it, it was either too expensive, too far away or already sold. So last night I kept checking craigslist every hour and I found the set I wanted, they had just listed it a half hour before and I was going to be the first to go check it out. Well that baby was mine for $80. I was able to move it in my car and after washing it down and disinfecting it, (I'm a germ freak) I tightened up the screws, oiled it and viola. Success! Then the other piece I wanted to share with you is an entertainment center. I had been looking for a tv stand and had something in my head that I just couldn't find when I came upon this amazing bargain... It seems most people are getting rid of their entertainment centers and opting for flat screens on the wall. Well that was fine with me because I got the entire 3 piece set for $120 and they were kind enough to deliver it! They had purchased it from Walter E Smithe for $3000 about 8 years ago. It is solid and super heavy. I love all the storage and have everything from linens, quilts games to my dvd's stored In it. (and my tv). So what do you think, do you use Craigslist? Cause if you don't you could be saving yourself a lot of money. lol
