Search Craigslist’s Wanted Section for ‘Accidental’ Snowflakes
I am $15 closer to being out of debt after reading the “wanted” postings on Craigslist.
Although I’ve been selling things on Craigslist, there are some things I hadn’t gotten around to posting, had forgotten about or didn’t think anyone would want.
But then I started reading the wanted listings, and have had a wanted item almost every day.
Day 1: TV Rabbit Ears - $10 (I have some in the basement that I didn’t think anyone would be interested in)
Day 2: Baseball Tee for 2-Year-Old (I have one in the garage that is no longer used)
Day 3: Plastic step stools for potty-training (I have two, but didn’t think they were worth listing)
I emailed each of them with a picture of my item, the price and the parts of town I’d be willing to meet in and waited to hear back.
Although the TV rabbit ear guy had already found one by the time I emailed him, and the potty step stool lady never emailed me back, I made $15 by selling the baseball tee. Hooray!
I am kicking ass on the whole snowflaking thing this week. Here are the snowflakes I’ve applied toward my credit card balance since Friday:
$10 - Decided not to subscribe to Money, despite the awesome senior citizen offer (?) I got in the mail
$30 - Sold a fireplace screen on Craigslist
$15 - The baseball tee
$5.18 - Surprise! The Neutrogena bodywash I bought at CVS is going to be reimbursed under my health care FSA since it treats acne
Not big amounts, but everything helps! I’ll definitely be scouring Craigslist’s wanted section daily…
