    Craigslist ad blows up.

    Yesterday I saw an add for two tvs for Craiglist, since it was on the way home I figured I would stop by. As is turns out he and a few friends own an apartment complex and they have aquite a bit of stuff needing to be cleaned out. I will add pictures today and tomorrow, but i was just kind of taken aback by this. Most of my Craigslist hits havent turned out to much of anything. I handed him a few business cards and have gotten three emails already.

    lol this reminds me of a time last year when I got 70tvs dropped off all at once to me when I was sleeping and woke up to a sea of them and for fun I posted them as 70 free tvs on clist with no description just my number and had 4 people come by look and ask if I had any flat screens and said sure do but you got to take them all lol needless to say I spent 6hrs breaking them down and bought a 24pack to finish off that day lol

    Not sure about the rest of you, but I have plenty of luck on my CL.

    I refuse to do eBay, so CL an other means of moving items work for me. Same with getting items. Then again I'm on a sandbar an lack all the idiots the rest of you seem to have near you who like to do nothing but play on CL.

    So..despite a few beefs with Cl, I'm usually rather happy with mine.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I love free advertising. Rarely do I lose money with it!
