My first experience with craigslist this week was a good one. In case you’re not up on the latest trends, craigslist is an online classified advertisement site where it is free to post a classified ad. Its one of the big reasons that the classified section in your newspaper keeps getting smaller and smaller. Anyway, I was trying to sell a fridge. I put the ad up, and not 5 hours later I got a reply from a buyer. He picked up the fridge and paid in cash the same day!

So in case you’re keeping score: Craigslist – 1, Mass-emailing your family – 0
