I've bought some baby items like strollers on CL before. I've also sold big things like heavy TVs and shelves that we couldn't donate. I tend to price the things I'm selling dirt cheap because I feel like they're doing me a favor by moving the junk out of my house. I'm a terrible seller that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144554 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 02:49:51 +0000 sunny 1144554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to sell more than buy on CL. I don't like people at my house either, but to sell furniture there isn't really another way. I just make sure that my husband is home when people are coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144546 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 02:33:27 +0000 PrincessBaby 1144546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got all of LO's nursery furniture on CL...It was the Larkin sleigh crib which had been discontinued, the changing table, and the Cameron wall organizer thingy. It was all perfect and a great deal. I also got her PBK bedding set on there, it was the Coco Dot set which had been discontinued and was no longer available.</p> <p>Now that LO is here, I am not too keen on it, just bc I dont want to meet up with someone and have her with me for safety reasons...We actually have several things I'd like to post on CL but I dont want people at our house:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144542 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 02:25:44 +0000 lamariniere 1144542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I lived in NYC I looooved CL. I bought and sold a lot off stuff on it. There is a similar site here, but since it's all in German, I haven't been brave enough to try to buy stuff. Also, the deals aren't nearly as good. People sell used stuff with only about 1/3 of a discount from retail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144343 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 22:06:49 +0000 yin 1144343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had any luck. My local craigslist is pretty shady with people asking almost full price for items. Just not worth the hassle. I prefer hellobee classifieds. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144333 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:58:51 +0000 Cole 1144333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: me too! I like the idea of buying second hand but in practice it turns into only non porous items or things that can go from sealed plastic bag into my washer on high heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144318 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:49:33 +0000 Alivoo01 1144318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hubby LOVES Craigslist and has bought quite a few things off of it for himself and DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144267 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:25:08 +0000 MamaCate 1144267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our dresser for LO off Craigslist! And we resold her jumperoo on there too! But it is hit and miss where we live... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144253 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:20:29 +0000 Maysprout 1144253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where we used to live CL was really good and we got a few items and sold a few items. The one around here is super sketchy now and I don't want to use it to buy or sell. We've used it a few times and even DH is on board with not using it again in this area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1144204 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 21:05:54 +0000 BabyMats 1144204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I found our place on Craigslist too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143920 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:53:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 1143920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am irrationally afraid of CL because I am irrationally afraid of bed bugs. I did find our apartment there, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143904 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:52:04 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1143904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had good luck selling. I don't think I've bought off there. I found a Facebook group I much prefer now. People aren't nearly as flaky and they pay more for nicer stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143817 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:35:33 +0000 chopsuey 1143817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never bought on CL, but we used to sell all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143812 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:34:53 +0000 travelingnanny 1143812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends where you live. When I lived in the Midwest it was awful because it was just people trying to sell overpriced junk. I haven't bought anything recently but the CL where I currently live is great. It amuses me to see people selling $100 desk that should be put in a dumpster but unlike the Midwest there are better pieces, too. I'm just waiting for a good deal ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143750 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:27:17 +0000 stargal 1143750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I love love love criags list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143706 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:22:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1143706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is mostly junk </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143701 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:21:36 +0000 MrsF 1143701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought a Halloween costume for M last night. $10 on Craigslist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143697 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:21:04 +0000 Katrocap 1143697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Craigslist a lot ten years ago before it was considered sketchy.

She's purchased big ticket items for dirt cheap prices like chandeliers, dresser drawers, buffet table, etc. I guess I am just too lazy to look through the listings but I have never bought anything through Craigslist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143587 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:03:32 +0000 BabyMats 1143587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do craigslist too much but we scored a couple months ago and bought an awesome dresser with deep drawers for$100 steal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/craigslist#post-1143576 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:00:48 +0000 MaisyMay 1143576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you like Craigslist? Have you bought anything for your LO off of it?</p> <p>We've purchased a big box of clothes for A, plus some toys for her. I'm a fan of CL, but you have to be careful. Some ads are pretty sketchy. </p>
