craigslist is cool!

So I'm really getting into this craigslist thing. Yesterday I bought some landscaping bricks for a couple of my flowerbeds. I paid $25 for 55 bricks that sell for $1.75 each at Home Depot. It was a great deal! The VW looked a little overwhelmed with all of that weight and I bottomed out pulling into the driveway, but it was worth it! As soon as my flowers take off I'll send some pictures! I was excited because I;ve been frying to get some cheap bricks on craigslist and they usually go so fast. By the time I call they were always gone. One guy even told me his bricks would be there for me to pick up, and by the time I drove 40 minutes to get them...he gave them to somebody else!

I also posted 2 ads on craigslist! One for our baby tub and toddler swing (kind that hangs from a doorway inside the house) and another ad for an activity mat for newborns. I'm trying to sell the tub and swing for $15 and the mat for $15. We even got the mat for free from some neighbors in Rochester, so that would be all profit. If these two sales work I may "thin out" the toy heard in or playroom. As I just cleaned it all today and it took me forever to get all of those toys back on the shelves!

I sold the toddler swin on Thursday for $10. Then I changed my ad on craigslist for just the tub for $5. Cool huh!
