I realized that I've sold 30 items on Craigslist! What a money saver!

I currently have 3 items listed.

My husband jokes that I will sell him on Craigslist.

I've also had great luck buying a few things. I recently bought my 2 year old a twin size bed for $100, it would've been $500 new and had not been used. It was in perfect shape. What a good deal!

Do you have any Craigslist scores? Anything listed?

A lot. There was a period there where I was constantly upgrading furniture and then selling the old stuff on Craigslist. We also just got rid of $600-700 worth of motorcycle gear on it since my husband decided to get rid of his bike. I love Craigslist!

I have been so turned off from Ebay that Craigslist has become my go to place now. I have sold a ton of stuff and have also purchased a few things. You just need to be careful about the way you conduct business; making sure you protect your privacy and your safety from the people that contact you!

It is a big bonus to find things in your area and not have to pay shipping or take things to the post office.

Today I'm selling a kitchen for $40. Then I'm bartering a stroller & bike for a Barbie house and furniture. I'm paying $55 difference for the house. I sold 2 baby gates on Monday for $20. So, my craiglist bartering made $5 and a Barbie house for my girls this week.
