I very recently posted an auction for my old Dell Inspiron 6000 (take a look if you like). She’s obviously old and has seen better days, but hopefully somebody will find it useful as a parts laptop. The challenge here was to make an older laptop look half-way decent in an eBay listing photo. How to do it? Here’s how:Yes, I know the laptop is old...

craigslist, love it or hate it, is a great site to find.. well.. anything. However you’re limited to searching just one local area at a time. However you can search multiple areas via the use of a particular web site and an RSS reader (like Google Reader, Feed Demon or even Windows Live Mail or Mozilla Thunderbird) to get the job done. The web site to use...

I am a fairly heavy user of Craigslist as are many of you out there. And most of you have the same complaint I do about the service, that being it can be a little difficult to get around and there’s more or less no way to search multiple areas at the same time. Well, now you can. CraigsList Reader is a free app that makes it a whole lot easier to find...

Craigslist is not "Web 2.0". Heck, it barely qualifies as Web 1.0. The design of the site is Spartan and for a first-time user can seem a bit intimidating due to the fact there’s just so much stuff on it. Fear not, CL is actually really easy to use.

This page provides links to user nominated posts made throughout the Craiglist site. You can’t really categorize this stuff because the subjects truely are random, which makes it even better because you...

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...

Said honestly it’s amazing that if you ask someone, "Where’s the best place to buy or sell stuff online?", the the typical answer is "eBay". I disagree with this. The best place is Craigslist (abbreviated commonly as just "CL"). First, a few facts about CL:It’s been around just as long as eBay has (since 1995)....

Craigslist has long been known as the free place (in most locales) to post your ads for whatever – stuff, relationships, services, whatever. I have used Craigslist several times and it always surprises me how this extremely CRAPPY looking website performs so well. For example, I have (several times) posted job openings on just the Tampa section on...
