This was a pretty neat find, but it took quite a bit of work. It was posted on CL for $40, a loveseat and ottoman but no pictures were available. I emailed the seller a few times and she assures me it's from a pet and smoke free home. I drive 25mins across town into what I like to call the ghetto. She is smoking on the front porch and put's it out and says, oh, I don't smoke in the house. UGH. I go in and she asks me to shut the door so the dog doesn't get out. WHAT??? I thought it was a pet and smoke free home. I look at the couch and it's gross, I mean yucky with grime and pen marks and it does smell. I offered her $20 for that and a little tikes picnic table and she said yes. I still was not happy about smelling it all the way home. When I get home, I was able to remove the fabric on the cushions and steam cleaned the whole thing. It came out beautiful. I was able to sell the set for $200 and the picnic table for $40.
Another great find was this Little Tikes Dinosaur that I bought for $5, apparently it's hard to find. I sold it for $97 on ebay, so that was pretty exciting.
Even if you're not shopping for deals to resell like me, it is a really great place to find things for just what you need. It's free to list and free to search. Have fun Craigslisting. If you need help selling something and want some tips or someone to do it for you, let me know, I'd be happy to help you.
oh,I can't forget Jack's favorite find. This is just an awesome sword that we are keeping, no I won't sell it.

Wow, it amazes me!
Way to go Aimee!
You are the craigslist queen! I sold the girls' toddler beds the same day that their new bunk beds arrived. That was exciting. I sold enough to almost completely pay for the new bunk beds. I watched craigslist for a month and couldn't find any that I liked, which was frustrating, but it was still exciting to have almost know money out of pocket. Keep up the good work!
I remember when Gabby was really little and I was looking for my favorite book I had given her, "Tiny Tea". "Mommy sold it on ebay", she said. I think that was one of her first words. We found it in the shelf. It was safe!!!!!! Whew!
You are a true bargain queen!
Wow - how fun - you are like the queen of CL and garage sales and making money! :) You go girl Can't believe you got $97 for that purple dinosaur! That's AWESOME A $92 profit
