Does Craigslist work?

littlebean · Kate Spade

I think Craiglist is great! I'm not sure how much help it would be in terms of publicity for your event, and you might get a few weird responses, but I've had really positive experiences with everything I've advertised there.

It originated in my area and it's huge here. I use it for everything - i got my job on craigslist, my car, my apartment, etc.

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Ok , great thanks girls! I am kinda excited to see what happens~!

craigslist rocks! i sold my junked car on it, i found my apt's on it, we got a lot of our furniture on it, i got my computer monitor on it...

BargainQueen · Marc Jacobs

Good Luck! I've sold a lot of our furniture when we have moved. There are a lot of people that flake though, I wouldnt delete the ad until it is paid and picked up by the buyer. I've had so many people respond to an ad, and either never respond when we sort out the details, or not show up when they make an appt to pick up. A lot of renters and college students also scour craigslist for deals, unless you're flexible w/the pricing of the stuff youre selling, you wont get a lot of takers, at least in my experience.

But all in all, its the only place I've ever had to list our larger pieces we cant sell on ebay.

the other thing it is good for is to find service people. we found an amazing person to do handy work ($25 an hour vs. $80) who eventually invited us to his birthday party. we found a great gentleman to help with wireless issues, and we found someone who specializes in our brand of car to fix things at a MUCH cheaper price.
