Craigslist Apps and Tools

I spend a lot of time on Craigslist — looking for tech goodies, apartments, garage sales, whatever — and you can get lost in its many offerings, and find yourself off track from your initial surfing goals.

Selling Homes on Craigslist

If you're pulling your hair out about how hopeless the sale of your house is going, maybe you should hop onto the Craigslist bandwagon. Scott Miller, a resident of Dallas, TX, decided to place an advertisement in the online classifieds network for his five-bedroom house, according to the Daily Mail. He's asking for $349,500, and has already received a bid that matches the amount. Miller says, "I Read more

Have You Ever Bought a Used Computer?

My friend is in the market for a new laptop — well, sort of. She's been scouring Craigslist and eBay with hopes that a relatively new, but used, model turns up. This is against the better advice of almost everyone in her life, by the way. Her friends and family worry that she'll end up with a total lemon and not see the problems before it's too late. And because it's "for sale by owner," Read more

Best and Worst Craigslist Missed Connections Stories

I've been known to peruse my local Craigslist Missed Connections daily on occasion, mainly for its entertainment value ("Your friend offered me some cotton candy . . .

What's Your Favorite Spot to Score Deals on Home Decor?

This weekend at a swap meet I scored some hard-to-find wine crates for next to nothing, as well as two barely used oversized mirrors for only $25 (for both!). When it comes to thrift shopping for home décor items, I like to cover all my bases, perusing Craigslist, scoping out antique shops, and stopping at yard and garage sales. But I'm wondering, where do you find the best pieces on the Read more

What Does Newly Renovated Mean?

CasaSugar Community member MorganAshley recently asked, "What's your definition of 'newly renovated' as seen on a rental listed on Craigslist? Just curious how many years would qualify?" Personally, I wouldn't say the answer is how many years, but what has been renovated. For instance, I wouldn't mind 80-year-old hardwood floors, but yucky yellow linoleum floors from the 70s would certainly Read more

Do You Trust Craigslist Listings Without Pictures?

Whenever I use Craigslist for apartment hunting, I tend to gravitate toward the listings with pictures, sometimes even eliminating those without altogether by checking the "has image" box.
