Most of the people who know me already know that I do not drink or do drugs and although I have a high affection for dough nuts, I am not addicted to much of anything. But when it comes to getting a deal, I am the first person to get a little high knowing how much I can potentially save.

I have had to talk myself down a few times (as well as talk Phil down) from the familiar “Looked how much I could save!!” on things that we do not need. But for some reason, when it comes to Craigslist, I have to stop myself numerous times a day.

The truth is, 99% of the stuff on Craigslist is crap. I am utterly amazed that people own the things they do, much less are trying to sell them. Just this morning, I have found 3 the ugliest fabrics I have ever seen:

That last one, it has a huge tear on the top. Why would someone be looking for a torn piece of furniture? Especially not one with any sort of design cred or real potential. It baffles me, but I cannot stop looking.

I have bought and sold a lot of things on Craigslist. We have even resorted to saying we are “leasing” items instead of buying because when we are done with them, there is a better than not chance that they will end up being sold online.
