Since I am a very ecologically minded person, I simply adore that this whole culture of reusers is out there and apparantly thriving. Just makes so much sense. The folks that showed up at my house were just super nice, but than again I only made appointments with 4 and one was a no show. The other three came when they said they would and took the stuff. I think the key is how you do your ad and you MUST attach good photos. If there are flaws or any kind of damage to the stuff you want to get rid of show it and explain in detail. That should eliminate a whole bunch of people coming over to look and not buying. I think it also makes you look like an honest person upfront. I'm going to list and AC that runs fine, but is missing the accordion side panels. I'm going to explain why they're gone and point that out in the photo I post. I don't want people coming over expecting one thing and finding something they didn't expect. It's just too time consuming setting up a whole bunch of appointments and waiting around.

My resonator is not resonating properly. I am thinking I have the switches wired wrong. Perhaps the middle switch is supposed to be arc-fault protected... Any ideas?

Oh, dear. I hope it doesn't go to someone who will hurt it, like a dog-fighting ring. Animals offered up for free, even with cleverly written ads, are always at risk.

I love many of the finds pictured here. I live in an economically depressed, rural area, and most of Craigslist is uninspiring and often unintentionally funny. Some people have big ideas about what their junk is worth! We've done well in the Farm & Garden section, however, both buying and selling. This summer I acquired a riding mower for $375 delivered. The owner is a mechanic (turned out he retired from the company my son works for), and the mower was well cared for. But mostly I came back here to thank My3dogs for starting this thread. As soon as I saw the title, I remembered that it had been awhile since I last checked Craigslist for a cedar wardrobe. My house is very old, and has almost no closets. I've been keeping my various jackets in an ancient but worthless wardrobe that is ready to fall apart, so I've been looking for a good replacement for about a year. Most of the ones listed had no bar for hanging clothes, and were overpriced anyway. So I saw your thread and went directly to Craigslist, where I found the perfect cedar wardrobe: just the right size, with a bar inside the top and a nice drawer on the bottom--for $75! The people even agreed to keep it for me until after Christmas, when my son can get it with his pickup. Thanks, and happy holidays to all!
