Craigslist, the yellow pages for crime is some people’s opinions. It gets people jobs, household items, cars, and even a date on Friday night if your over 18. Sometimes it gets a bad reputation for dating because of the criminal who abuse it, BUT it can be an amazing experience.

I’ve seen a $1000 guitar be sold for $400 on Craigslist. God I wish I was the one who got it but I’m not. People give away free things that take up space. Their trash can be your treasure if you get to it first. But sometimes Craigslist can be disappointing. Sometimes you call an hour or two late after someone sold what you wanted to someone else. The beauty of Craigslist is that there are good odds that same item will be there next week.

Jobs, I have gotten tons of interviews to businesses off Craigslist. It’s a great way to find a job and make some money. There’s a massive amount of jobs posted in “general labor, “food/beverages/hosp”, and sometimes “customer service” that a teenager can work in.

Imagine this, your 16, just obtained a drivers license, and ready to drive; except you have no car. Craigslist is like the used car add in your local newspaper but better. You can see pictures of the vehicle with a larger description, I see no downfall in that. Sometimes the cars have problems, but the cars in the paper also have problems. Don’t forget that Craigslist has hundreds more cars than the newspaper. But, beggarscan’t be choosers so don’t be picky if you don’t see your dream car.

My point is that Craigslist is an amazing site and you should visit it at least once to see what it’s about if you’ve never gone. Thank you for your time, and I thank Craigslist.com for being such a wonderful site.
