Save Money Using Craigslist

by Hawk on October 6, 2009

save-money-craigslistWisebread.com has a great story today about how you can save money using Craigslist - Craigslist Shopping 101.  I have been using Craigslist for about 2 years now, and I can confirm that there are great deals to be had on it.

Most recently I bought a used 60GB Xbox 360 Pro on Craigslist.  I saved about 60% by buying an Xbox 360 on Craigslist.

I also buy a lot of home services through Craigslist.  Most recently I found an electrician to install new lights for me in my basement.  I replied to a Craiglist ad and within 30 minutes I had the electrician calling me to say that he could do the work that same day.  Other great services that I found on Craigslist were yard cleanup services and gutter cleaning.

The Wisebread article does a great job in explaining how to use Craigslist.com.  I highly encourage you to check it out.

I just bought a cast iron frying pan on craigslist. The seller was asking $15, I offered $10 and we settled on $12.

A similar 12″ cast iron frying pan sells between $40 – $50 brand new.

That’s great Matt. And, a used cast iron frying pan is better anyways.

In the reverse, you can also make some decent money on Craigslist – for the right items. For example, we sold a year or two old treadmill on craigslist for almost the full purchase price. Great place to find deals, and sometimes – a good place to sell as well.
