Craigslist Finds

I've done some craigslisting this past week as we've tried to find good deals on the last few baby things we need.  Thought I'd share my victories!

1. Side table with space for books in the bottom...
$45 retail, got one in perfect condition for $20!



2.  Baby Trend Snap N Go...
$75-99 retail, got one in good working condition for $5!!

Baby Trend Snap N Go EX Universal Infant Car Seat Carrier


3. Chicco car seat base for Keyfit 30...
$75-85 retail, got one in great condition (one owner, not expired) for $25!
Chicco KeyFit & KeyFit30 Infant Car Seat Base - Anthracite

So we saved about $150 thanks to craigslist!  Woohoo!!  :)

And here are my tips to "Craigslist Responsibly":

1. Choose a reliable check-in buddy who will be near their phone and a computer during your pick up time
2. Give your check-in buddy all the information you have on the person you're meeting (link to the listing, name, email address, phone number and location where you are meeting)
3. Call your buddy just before meeting the seller and give them a reasonable time frame for when you'll call back (usually 5 minutes)
4. Call your buddy back as soon as the transaction is complete to confirm you're still alive ;)

Happy Craigslisting!  :)
