Alright, anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE craigslist. Today just proved my point even more! I had found a really cute Ralph Lauren outfit with matching sneakers- all brand new with tags- for $15. Not too bad but I thought if it was meant to be...Well, I could offer $10 and she could tell me to jump in a lake. I have found one of the best ways as a buyer to get people to sell is to say that you can pick up the next day (and stick to it!) As a seller, this has definitely worked on me too. So I go to this woman's house and it looks nice, she's pretty, kids are adorable and I give her a $20- a craigslist no no! Do not ever ask for change, it is so annoying! But really, that is all I had, well $20.25 to be honest. So she tells me to come in and see what else she has- she does have a captive audience now with a $20. She hands me a Rubbermaid tub of clothes and says pick out some things you like. Obviously, I only have $20 and she tells me to look through---Oh WOW! I pull out a beautiful pristine, white sweater, a GAP bathing suit and matching hat, A Gymboree top and matching shorts, brand new tights, 2 adorable sundresses, super cute pants and matching H&M shirt, a Lily Pulitzer looking dress, and a GAP outfit- WHEW!! Now, I did say to her, tell me what I can have because all I have is that $20. And she says Take it ALL! YEA! Craigslist JACKPOT!
