I have to say I love the site, but you do have to be a little cautious on there just because there are so many people out to scam others.

I have sold and purchased many items on this site and overall love it. It allows many different things be listed and you can find hard to find items even.

Overall I highly recommend this site.

Craigslist is terrific!
February 3, 2010

Craigslist is terrific! You can buy, sell and trade practically everything! Not to mention meet some real interesting creepers. Their jobs could use a little upgrade though... maybe they could use something like http://stusjobs.com and post job listings for free and list jobs my location.

The one site I rely on for pretty much everything is craigslist. I sold my couch, bought a new TV and found an apartment all for free. I even got a job doing promo work for a night at a local club. The only thing I am wary of is the online dating part of craigslist. I will say I have a friend who used it and found a boyfriend but it seemed like it wasn't as good as match or eharmony. Then again, free is free.

FREE STUFF...
July 21, 2009

FREE STUFF... do I need to say more? You can often find people giving away items if they are moving or no longer need it. It is like an online garage sale everyday of the week. Plus the jobs section is great and updated daily.

Is okay if you want to meet the most creepiest people over the net - Seeing as it is free, any nutjob with access to a computer (which is everyone since libraries offer them for free) can post personal ads on the net.
