Craigslist has been our surrogate neighborhood garage sale since the purchase of The Blueberry. This mecca of recyclables has provided everything from Clint’s truck to Hardie Plank siding. We have also had run-ins a unique breed of Washingtonians. Craigslist posters seem to fall into three basic categories: Freddy the professional poster, the anti-clutter Smith family, and Tina the desperate city hopper: Inspired by SPAM, ******!!!!!! FREDDY USES CAPS AND UBIQUITOUS EXCLAMATION MARKS TO LURE YOU TO HIS HOMEROOM FLOOR!!!!!******
The Smiths put their Pottery Barn collection up for $5, which sells in 3 minutes. Disappointment marks the 307 calls they receive after selling the amazing deal.
Tina is moving to Japan in an hour and needs to purge her entire apartment. If potential buyers change their mind, she calls them back to explain that the 30” oven will go on a diet to fit in the 29” opening. And she’ll throw in a pink fondue set.
