I’m doing some spring cleaning and have decided to sell my stuff on Craig’s list. I know the drill: take pictures, put everything in the garage, lock the door to the house, be willing to bargain. Couldn’t be easier, especially since everyone says Craig’s list is the fastest way to get rid of almost anything. For example, I just read about an ad posted not too long ago that invited folks near Tacoma, Washington to help themselves to the complete contents of a home in the area. Eager bargain hunters stripped the place of everything, including the water heater. Only problem was, it came as a complete shock to the woman who owned the house. Seems her niece was ticked off because Auntie evicted her mom so she placed the ad for purposes of, um, revenge. Gads, I wouldn’t refund that security deposit.

Luckily Craig’s List allows you to purchase things as well. Maybe this will allow the owner to be a nicer landlord and find a way on the website to buy her items back! Better yet, maybe I can get a cheap water heater out of this saga……..
