Craigslist

You hear all this stupid stuff about how Craig's List is in trouble. So be it, there are stupid people out there who do stupid things. My experiences with Craig's List have been nothing but good!

Example#1: Last fall, I was able to get 35 decent wooden fence posts plus a bunch of barbed wire for free from a nice couple who simply were not going to be using the materials and wanted them gone.

Example#2: A couple of weeks ago, we got 35 good steel fence posts for $50, with the likely-hood of another 25-30 posts for free when we take down a fence.

Example#3: I may take a little trip to pick up a load of free cement blocks to build a composting bin with.

You just need to keep your eyes open in the free section section of Craig's List and it's surprising what you can find there. So, while buyer beware is always a good thought, just being smart and paying attention to what is out there can pay huge dividends down the road too! :-)
