      You just discovered Craigslist? It's great, you can find a job, a car, an apartment, a bike, a computer and anonymous sex, er, a date, all in one location!

        That's where I got my breakfast nook set. Five chairs, one arm chair and a table that extends to 109" for a real great deal (less than $300). We can only use two of the leaves, because the table is so long. I love my dining room set. It's from the 1930s...or 1940s...

        To do list:
        1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
        1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius;

          Your house is a mess.

          That is a nice table. Great to have the extra leaves as well for Thankgiving or parties. I haven't found C.L. to be that useful, but I don't take any issue with it either. If I were in a more urban area, it would probably be more handy.

            It started here in SF Bay area, so it's very big. I remember when it was an actual email list some guy named Craig kept going...

            Cool truck Hector! Good luck with that.

              Love old trucks. Don't think you'll have any trouble selling that.

                  No, I meant to say this is my first experience SELLING something on Craigslist.

                  I have bought a lot of stuff from Craig's, including my Mustang, my dining table set (like Jessica, and BTW, that was a steal, Jessica), my patio furniture, a deck umbrella, coffee table, and a couple of other items that escape me right now.

                        I guess for Craig's list the best way to get it to work is to look for and pick up items in your local area? I imagine there are many snakes out there as well willing to take your money and not send you the item they promised.

                          My wife is a Craigslist queen..! We sold elipticals and other household appliances just to save up for a plasma bigscreen..

                          'Course in her efforts to sell all this stuff and save, she's also requesting my toys sales start contributing to her cause. NOT! Geez, I make enough as it is each paycheck. My toy sales are for only one thing: Getting more toys.

                            yeah I only do it locally,I hate when you get someone from like..let's say NY trying to sell you a Marino Rookie and he only accepts Money orders

                            Lots of scammers in there
