I heart Craig
Craigslist rocks.
We've bought a desk and a car, sold a (different) car, a computer, and a kitchen table. Every time the whole transaction took about 24 hours. The people we've bought from or sold to have been responsible and nice (and carry cash). The guy who bought our 1996 Honda Civic had met Craig at a conference, and reported that he is nerdy and normal, and has a passion for "citizen journalism." Traditional outlets for advertising (like newspapers) hate him. I think he's the best.
Oh, and a recent New Yorker article mentioned that it's easy to find someone to have sex with you on in the personals section of the List.
Here's a recent article about Craigslist and Ebay, thanks to B.:
