Does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) from Craigslist in regards to housing, jobs, buying/selling merchandise and/or tickets?

I have sold tickets on there for both 'Spamalot' (recent) and 'Hairspray' (a while ago). I was just looking for what I paid for them and found buyers both times.

I've just heard that there are lots of scams on there, either for people trying to get your email address for spam, or selling fake tickets, or using fake money, or just using any means possible to make lots of money and screwing over someone.

I've used it to look for roommates and to buy/sell tickets and it's been ok, but I'm always skeptical...

I got a summer apartment through Craigslist. It wasn't that great, but I was really desperate at the time, so I took a risk.

I sold a bed a couple months ago.

You are right to be skeptical, but it's such a helpful site!

I sold tickets to the Bay Street Pippin on Craigslist. Somebody bought them within an hour of putting them up for sale.

I have found two apartments on Craigslist, bought several pieces of large furniture, found several part time jobs. I LOVE CRAIGSLIST! Just choose the people you work with wisely.


Everything in this room is *eat*able. Even I'm *eat*able. But that is called cannibalism, my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies. ~Willy Wonka
