This is why Craigslist works better than Ebay for me: it is local, it is fast. You want something, you look up in your area on craigslist, find it, drive down 15min, check it out, bring it home, done.
Instant gratification and the ability to check out the product beats buying a black box from some seller in Estonia.
But the secret is out. So many people are buying via craigslist that items disappear before you get some free time to check it out. On the other hand, you can't skip your work and meals and watch craigslist just in the hope that someone will post that Wii for $50.
Alertpedia to the rescue. You can now receive alerts when there is a posting about some item on Craigslist in your area. Isn't that neat?
Like, how about a Wii on sale for $50 in new york city? Wouldn't we all love that?
