Craigslist is amazing, but only for electronics.[1]

Mr. Angst and I found ourselves with an extra flatscreen monitor and I wanted to get rid of it. Having had little luck selling anything on the school listserv, and wanting to get the best sale price, I decided to post it on Craigslist.

That was this morning at 9.

I just walked back in after handing it off to the buyer. With cash in my pocket.

AH-MAHZ-ING.


  1. I say this because, last summer, when we were trying to sell some furniture we no longer needed, I could not find buyers for some really solid stuff to save my life. I guess furniture is tough, with the transportation issues and all, but still. ↩

At least you had the blog for advertising space- your coffee table looks fabulous in our apartment ;)

I am about to sell an entire apartment’s worth of furniture on Craiglist. It is all junk that I am desperate to get rid of. I feel like I get better prices by having garage sales but I don’t have the time. The main priority is just getting it all out.

Honestly, Mel, that was our feeling with some of the stuff we were trying to get rid of last year. I was willing to take very little money for it, and people just were not interested. I really don’t know why.
