And I don't just mean the daycare ads. I never used to check craigslist for anything but garage sales, tried listing a daycare ad once but got nothing but spam.
But recently I've been checking it every few days just going thru the baby/kids and the toys sections, etc. I hear about people scoring great things cheap on CL all the time - all the pinterest posts, etc. but OMG, my area's CL page is horrible!!! Junky dirty toys that you'd maybe see for $3-5 at a garage sale are listed at $15-20 on CL. Strollers that brand new were maybe $200 are listed after a few years of use at $150. I was looking for a table and chairs for my basement and couldn't find anything under $200 - what I'm looking for is that much new in Kmart right now.
I tried using some CL pricing for my last garage sale - I had some GOOD stuff - but I had to come down drastically to sell it all (and I still made $800 in that 1 day!!), seems just because they are listing it for that much doesn't mean they are getting it.
So, does anyone else have a really lousy price gouging CL in their area???
