Ode to Craigslist

10/01/2008
Today I met some guy at a storage yard in Irvine on my lunch break to buy some ladders. Big ladders. Now that I think about it, I've picked up and dumped a lot of things on Craigslist over the years. I searched through my old email just to get an idea:

Bought
  • Old mountain bike
  • Dirty Manhattan apartment (rented)
  • A lot of furniture
  • Day labor
  • Large, old ugly piano
  • Small house (rented)
  • Used cell phone from a sweaty guy in a van with no windows
  • Jeep part(s)
  • Camera lens(es)
  • Car audio installation by two high school kids
  • Ice machine for work
  • Washer/dryer(s)
Sold
  • Old, ugly sofas (2004, before Orange County was on Craigslist)
  • A lot of furniture
  • A lot of furniture for a relative
  • Large, old ugly piano
  • Yamaha quad, slightly abused
  • Small house (rented out)
  • Jeep part(s)
  • Car(s)
  • Washer/dryer(s)
When you consider that each of these transactions involves meeting face-to-face in a dark alley with some weirdo from the Internet, it all adds up to a lot of fun.

Also, a 24' ladder fits in the back of a Jeep, but people will laugh at you and take pictures on the freeway.

You had time to search through old emails to find this info? You need some children!
