Craig’s List


Apparently, I’m addicted to Craig’s List.

Have you been there? It’s an awesome place, man! You can find ANYTHING there! In fact, you can sometimes find too much – things you really didn’t want to know were available.

I found two really good jobs there: both Treeline Construction and GDM advertized for my position on Craig’s List. I even got several Cat-Sitting jobs from an ad I myself posted. I had hoped for more, since at the time I really needed the income. Now that I’m reasonably (knock on wood) secure in my position here at GDM, I don’t really need to continue along that line of employment. However, I do still keep my eye out for people in need of a cat sitter – but mostly because I know what it’s like to need one, and will no doubt find myself in need of a sitter again one day.

A friend of mine sold his car on Craig’s List. He posted his ad and not 30 minutes later, people were calling about it. He had it sold within the hour!

My roommates came to me via Craig’s List. Granted that didn’t really turn out so good, but I can only really blame myself for that. I simply am not meant to live with anybody.

I recently answered an ad from a guy offering to help somebody practice their Spanish in return for helping him practice his English! And I’m now corresponding with a lady out in the valley who is familiar with the art of Quilling, in hopes that someday she and I might get together so she can show me how.

And yes, I’ve had a few dates from ads posted there. Obviously they didn’t go anywhere, but still – it’s nice to meet new people sometimes.

Does anybody else have a good Craig’s List story to share?

  1. I like alaskaslist.com better since craigslist won't let you sell guns.

    Sold a car, 30 Ben Franklins so cool! Sold snowpants, a weird 70's light.

    Bought a tandem bicycle and crank shorteners for my 10 yr old stoker. Love it, Freedom!

    However, Craigslisters can be a FLAKY bunch and don't keep appts.! I always like to have another person around.
