Looking For Used Stuff? EBay Isn’t The Only Place…

Many of you may already know this, but many probably do not. When you are looking to either buy or sell some used stuff online, eBay isn’t the only game in town. For an equally great location, check out your local classifieds on craigslist.org.

Craigslist, while it’s appearance is overly minimal, is actually quite a valuable resource for buying and selling. There are no adds on the site and no fees to use it. Additionally, the site is used by millions of people every day which makes it an ideal marketplace. While the site’s appearance, again, is minimal the functionality is everything you need as you can search in categories by keywords and price.

The big drawback is you have no buyer protection like eBay and Paypal offer as typically people are going to want cash upfront for whatever you are buying. So just be wary of the scams and Craigslist will be a great resource for you.

Free cycle is also a good way to get used stuff, for free.
http://www.freecycle.org
They are set up all over the country/world and once part of the group, you will get notifications from people that have stuff they want to give away. The idea is to keep the stuff/junk/treasures out of the landfills.
I’ve used it for a few things and have given away quite a few things as well. Search for it on the internet.
