Craig's List

If you are looking to buy large or heavy items online, check out Craig's List (www.craigslist.org). Unlike most sites like Ebay, there is a Craig's List for every geographic area. Since the sellers are more local, the shipping/freight charges can often be eliminated - or at least reduced. Also, because the sellers are local, you can often go see the items before you buy, thereby reducing your risk.

And if you have something to sell, in most cases it costs nothing to post on Craig's List.

Oh, and it is the ideal place to look for cheap, last-minute tickets for sporting events, concerts, or even vacations. Many people whose plans change will offer steep discounts to unload tickets they cannot use, and will soon become worthless.

BJ, You should run for President! I agree with everything you said here and it is just plain common sense to make these moves if our Government wants to stop this but i truly believe that they dont even though they "act" like they do.

I found a buyer for my last house on Craig's List. The best advertising dollars I spent . . . FREE!
