Annoyance with Craigslist


Just a super quick vent here. Well, maybe not super quick, but quick enough. I have been scouring Craigslist (CL) for both cloth diapers and double strollers and we actually hit on a great deal with a double stroller last week--a Safety 1st double tandem that safely houses our Chicco car seat (the one that we used for Kai and will use for our impending arrival. It was $45 and retails for $170. Awesome! Plus, it's in excellent condition.

My criticism is that we have NOT found any deals at all on cloth diapers. People act like they're selling a painting by an Italian master, for chrissakes. Come on, your child(ren) repeatedly defiled them and the diapers are NOT worthy of 3/4 of the original price. One woman had the audacity to ask 4/5 of the retail price! Ugh!

Honestly, people are damn nervy when it comes to selling stuff on CL. I have never sold anything at all for more than half the retail price. And that goes for stuff that's brand new, too. Not to mention that we are pretty frugal.

So, people-who-sell-crap-for-way-too-much-money-on-Craigslist, stick a diaper pin in it!
