    Haha - one man's junk is another man's treasure. Good find.
     
  3. Cool!

    I find that C/L has some great deals quite often on all kinds of stuff. I've bought everything from parts for my Hot Rod to parts for my O/T vehicles to some tools and antiques. I've saved a boat load of cash. It's almost as good as a swap meet..... Almost!
     
  4. I sell alot of power tools (saw-zalls, etc) when they are down to half life .. and I price them at half price as new .... and then go out and buy a new one.

    That way I always have new power tools, dont lose money on them, AND have a tax write-off. Craigslist is a great resource to sell them, everyone is happy.

    you should try dailylister.com to search all of craigslist. Makes it easier. :D

    Or if you are looking for just craigslist cars clcarsforsale.com is a different way to find craigslist cars for sale.

    CL is definitely your friend when it comes to buying or selling. I bought a complete running SBC (fan blades to flex plate) with all accessories two weeks back for $100. Then this past week I picked up a good deal on an O/T (S-10) pickup for a daily driver.

    Nice haul! That seller's probably telling his buddies right now... "Craigslist is great! Some ****er just gave me a benny for all those old junky parts I removed from that old deuce roadster. Now I can put that pinto front end, 8" rear, and 350/350 in there!"
