The Joys of Craigslist

Being a broke, newlywed, college student, shopaholic girl, Craigslist intrigues me in so many ways. Way better than Ebay, Craigslist goes the extra mile to ensure that there is something for everyone. If you are a hoarder, there is a lot of free stuff that no one ever needs. If you are a minimalist, craigslist is a great way to throw all of your unwanted stuff on your neighborhood hoarder. If you can't afford eHarmony, you can meet outstanding singles in your area. If no one else in the world will listen to your opinion, Craigslist even offers a discussion area where you can pour out your most intellectual thoughts and ask for advice. Below I will go into more detail of the great things that Craigslist has to offer you.

-Sell your crap

When selling your crap, you can expect to fend off plenty of spam in your inbox. No one is interested in your floor lamp for ten dollars. Sadly enough, the only emails you will get will be dangerous spam...like this:

Wow...that doesn't even make sense...Play a video? Hmm...Sadly enough people fall for this.

-Buy other people's crap

You can take this couch home for only $175! Plaid and flowers will go splendidly with whatever wallpaper you have plastered your house with. And it's a good thing you got your cats declawed, or they would ruin this beautiful specimen!

-Find Your Soulmate

Finding you soulmate is made easy on Craigslist. Thankfully I already have mine, but if you don't have yours, check out Craigslist! Under the caption "I want happiness" you will find a strapping young man who looks like he could probably use some happiness.

-Share Your Opinion

With the Craiglist discussion forum you can post anything you like....and it looks like most people actually get responses, incredibly enough. One person asks, "Anyone know of a good book for a gluten free diet?" and smart-allec replies by saying, "Books are made of tree cellulose and should be gluten free." I think that might have been my husband.

One woman even asks for advice in naming her unborn child. She was looking for a good middle name to go with Oliver. It's unanimous, her kid will be named Oliver Twist! I kind of like the sound of that.

So obviously, Craigslist has a lot of offer. I am going to dedicate this blog to the high and low points of Craigslist.
