I've used c'list to sell several items lately... it had been a god send....

am even using it to try to locate a garage to store my tear in... will see how that works out.

The ad was deleted by the poster when I clicked on it, what was it? I got my black aluminum roof skin that was usually over $100 for $40 / sheet through an ad on craigslist (but posted right here on the forum). Definitely worth the three hour drive! !

I bought a very nice table saw on C'list for 60% less than the same one at the big orange box store :D 8) The guy said he used it once and now has a new wife who is cleaning out his garage and told him to get rid of it. :oops: I think he needs anew wife.... :roll:
