I've only ever given free stuff (small furniture, bookshelves) away on craigslist and that was easy for spring cleaning as I just left it all on the front porch with a "first come first serve" motto. I do want to sell things but I'm weary about having people come to my home for the bigger stuff (chairs, furniture, etc.).

I assume to meet up in a public place, not say, an abandoned/secluded area to sell/buy shit.

I got this groovy glass desk cheap on craigslist, and also acquired a drummer, singer, and a couple guitarists.

I also discovered a lot of flakes and people who can't read....

Free stuff in NY is hard to find. I've only actually purchased a birdcage and an original print of FF7 on Craigslist but have sold a bunch of stuff I have gotten on the cheap and flipped over the years.

Oh, I did get something free on there - Brian & I met on a personal ad I posted over 5 years ago. Poor sucker responded to me.

I've bought two, almost three motorcycles off Craigslist.
A coffee table, I think that's it.

I just sold a jewelry box, yay one less thing! I should have sold it ages ago as I haven't used it in forever, but..... I am a terrible house keeper. I am going to try so hard to be better next time. I have people coming over to look at everything else throughout the day, hopefully my beloved furniture finds new homes! I'm charging basically nothing for them because I just want them to go to nice homes.

It's always a little tough getting furniture/housewares/etc. from Craigslist in NYC because I don't have a car. However, I did get my current freelance gig on there, which is designing slutty Halloween costumes (including the Playboy branded ones) for an internationally distributed company, which is pretty cool.

i always try to give away things on craigslist, like fabric scraps or books or things that are still useful and would just clog up landfills.

I get so many awful, begging, pleading sad sack replies asking me to deliver this worthless stuff to their house 30 miles away because they broke their arm and lost their job and are on unemployment and really, really need this free stuff that i get so pissed and sometimes throw it away.

Cam is currently waiting in the parking lot to meet someone that said they'd be there at 4 to pick up one of said free things. Its 4:12.

FUCKING CRAIGSLIST

I bought a fairly expensive 30" Dell monitor from a guy. He met me at work, I checked out the monitor and made sure it worked, and I handed him a bank envelope with more than a few $100 bills in it.

He asked if I minded him making sure the bills were legit. I pretended to be offended and said, "Where would I get access to advanced printing technology and equipment to make counterfeit bills with?"

Note: I work at a printing shop and we were standing like twenty feet away from a huge room full of industrial printing equipment.

He didn't think it was funny!

My brother and I got a little gig handing out flyers during the '08 elections through CL, got paid $60 for standing out in the cold for 4 hours while no one took my flyers. I was happy! My gal pal and I were extras in a music video through CL, it was fun!
