I can't tell you when I first came across Craigslist.com, I can only state that I am darn glad I did. Like a lot of the Internet revolution, the Craigslist.com website was started by a person who saw a not being met by the "big guys" and filled it with something simple and easy to us and… read full review »

Craigslist ROCKS!! If you are ever in need of something and not interested in paying full price - then CraigsList is he place to go! This website has everything you could ever imagine and more. I've managed to purchase items for my pets, clothing, and even a washer/dryer for the house. There isn't anything you can't find on Craiglist if you're willing to spend the time and dedication… read full review »

Dear Craig, — Your catchy little web site name is a good one. I am in awe that you've yet to cash in on your huge network of community web sites. People across the United States are using the Craigslist in their city to find childcare, classes, mates, jobs, housing, gigs, forums and more. I use it myself, and quite often, with great success. The traffic to all your sites combined must be amazing and huge. — — However, while you have succeeded, 100%, in creating ultra-opular community web sites for cities across the… read full review »

An alternative to eBay! Much better!

We have sold furniture, bought furniture, sold all kinds of household items and bought all kinds as well - We are hopelessly addicted to Craigslist. No Fees - all local - no bidding - SO much better than eBay, now that it's become SO pricey to buy anything on there. Only thing I don't like is that many users neglect to remove their listing once an item is sold. But, if you have a little patience, you can find what you are looking for and for a great price. Be sure to use common sense - if someone seems sketchy, don't do business with them. I've found that I am more comfortable meeting… read full review »

The best yard sale out there

I love this website - I have gotten so many great things from ads I've found on craigslist. My best find was a free Lazy Boy couch that was in great shape, and only a couple of miles away! Other finds have included a mattress set and a cell phone. — Another great thing about the web site is being able to post free ads for stuff you don't want anymore - I have sold a blender, a rug, and my car! — I think the most important thing this site does is allow users to flag ads for removal. This keeps spammers away very effectively. —… read full review »

While living in southern California I could virtually live my life on Craigslist. I bought and sold just about everything in my apartment, found my car, sold my clunker, and found a multitude of free stuff for my classroom! Now as my daughter has gone on to college in a large city she first furnished her dorm room and now her first apartment thanks to Craig. Try getting a 25" tv delivered for $30 on any other site. She even finds cheap weekend activites thanks to Craig (yard sales, curb alerts, and concert tickets). Although I now live in a small town… read full review »

Craigslist has to be one of the most comprehensive classified sites there is. It covers all 50 states and most major cities even overseas locations. They have categories that cover everything you can think of, they even have discussion forums. — — Buyer Beware — — As with any classified publication you must also be aware that spammers and pranksters will pop up. Never give out any personal information to anyone unless you are satisfied the ad is legit. You can email the person that placed the ad through craigslist, the reply info is in the upper left of… read full review »

I first heard about Craigslist in a parody on an online humor site, and decided to check out the real site. Sometimes when something is worthy of being poked fun at, it's worthy of looking into. Turns out Craigslist isn't worthy of being noticed at all in my area, a middle-sized town in Arkansas. Maybe if you live in a big city where there are lots of people posting Craigslist could be fun and valueable. Afterall, the concept is cool. It's a free site where people can sell things, buy things, give things away, post jobs, look for room mates, look for… read full review »

I am always into finding a great deal. When I heard about Craigslist, I was intrigued. Being a mother of two little girls, money is always tight so I love when I can find a great deal. I absolutely fell in love with Craigslist. To me, it is similar to eBay in a lot of ways. The only main difference is that it is local, and not an auction. Craigslist is a great place to find great deals though. — First of all, there is such a great variety on Craigslist. You can find anything from merchandise,… read full review »

Craigslist.com isn't for everyone, or for every situation... but what is? It's worth checking out if you're looking for a place to live, looking for something to buy locally, or a job... or just looking to be looking. — The thing I love so much about Craigslist is that it gives people the opportunity to get rid of things to people who may need it, and still make a little money for themselves. Sure you can donate to a thrift store, but how many people actually get around to doing that, especialy people with no truck or car to haul things. Besides... all the… read full review »

While this may be in fact one, of not the largest internet community that I'm aware of, this isn't necessarily a good thing. Truthfully, it may work for someone living in a bigger city, but when you live in the middle of nowhere, there's not a lot to enjoy about Craigslist. I have found a bargain or two in the past, but my overall experience, especially when it comes to either selling, or giving away stuff on Craigslist has been rather bleak, to say the least. — — I recently tore down a very old (100+ years) house on my property. As such I had tons of antique flooring, beams,… read full review »

Craigslist.org is an abundance of most things found you can say. I personally use the site daily in my area. — I have sold, purchased, traded, networked and even found jobs on Craigslist.org. It is a unique site that offers more than just a classified newspaper or a nickel dime paper. — You do have to watch for scammers, fraud and actual junk that persons try to give away, or hope for you to trash for them. Once you get the feel for those type, you can click on a link to turn them in for spam etc. Craigslist works hard trying to keep these type posters at bay. — My… read full review »
