Do You Use Craigslist?

Does anyone else out there feel like I do about Craigslist? I LOVE it. How can you not? The website is the most comprehensive local classified ads that I have found so far!
If you are planning on buying used furniture, Craigslist is definitely the first place you should look. I have a friend who outfitted her entire 2-bedroom apartment from furniture she bought from those listings - and she only spent $875.00. That included furniture to fill every single room - and it was all very cute and chic items that would have cost a lot more new.
There is also real estate for sale, which is the section that I am most interested in right now. I have found hundreds of houses in the area where I want to live, which mostly eliminates the need for a real estate agent. I'm all for saving money when I'm ready to purchase a house!
My sister has embraced the "ride share" section, since her car recently broke down. This section tries to match people up for carpooling, whether it be just for the daily ride to work or even for long distance trips. I've seen people on there looking to share rides all the way to New York!
And just like any classifieds, there are personal ads. Although it looks like you could probably meet some cool people locally, you have to be really careful in there. Not only are there scam artists, but the ads are not censored in any way - including the pictures!
One of the frustrating things, though, is sifting through all of the ads to find what you want. There are hundreds! But TxtVox does offer a service via a free daily alert that will search Craigslist for you and text only those listings to your cell phone. If you are looking for something specific, you should definitely try it out. It can save you an enormous amout of time and frustration.
