Craigslist - Gotta Love It!

I want to thank Suzie for the inspiration for this post. I blatantly stole it from her after she mentioned this very thing at her son's house this evening.

This was a Craigslist weekend. It was also a Craigslist week. Each of us made two deals this weekend.

• I ended up selling that pile of antique Osborne computers a couple days ago. That was a good thing. It netted me more space and $160.

• I bought a pair of almost new La Sportiva hiking boots for only $40. They retail for about $180. They are nice! Here's a link to them at Backcountry.com
  

• Suzie ended up finally finding the hot tub she wanted in Craigy's list this week. She has been looking for a long, long time. She wanted a fairly small one, fairly cheap, and in good shape. This one is a Jacuzzi brand and was close by. It's a 4-person model and was $500. We have been working on it all day and still have more work to do on it. The tub portion is in great shape but the wood surround is in need of a lot of repair. We're already on reassembly. We may be soaking by this time next weekend... Who knows. The good thing is she already has wiring in because she used to have a tub there already.

• She also has Craigslist to thank for getting rid of a boxspring and mattress yesterday. On a whim she put an ad on there for them, free to pick up. In just a few hours they were gone. Teresa could learn from her!

Yep, we have had a good weekend thanks to Craigslist. A little come, and a little go. A little cash here and there, and everyone goes away happy.

Yep, Craigslist: Gotta love it!
