i go through it pretty regularly in search of deals, but they are rarer than you might think. it is full of ads from people who want to charge you too much for used stuff.

squier strats for $300? 5 yr old epiphone les pauls for $600? weren't those guitars about $300 new?
i swear i saw a guy selling a hondo identical to one i paid $120 for in 1983, he wanted $350 and was calling it "vintage"

I got 900 bucks for my old trumpet on craig's list. :kiss:

There ARE some good deals to be had. Just gotta be careful and watch out for scams.
 
Two guys came down here (South Florida) from Tennesse to purchase a Harley they saw on Craigs list. The people picked them up at the airport took them to their trailer then robbed them at gun point ($9,000 cash). Threw them in a truck or SUV and dropped them off in a remote location. They were lucky to be alive in the end. The police arrested 2 of the individuals and recovered 2,500 in cash. I don't know if they ever got the other two.
 
I found this baby in Craigs list.. Now its located in the front drive. :d

Some incredible deals in there.


Yes, be careful. Dont send people to your home address. Meet them at a parking lot in a very public area. Do not take any chances. I met this person in front of a car wash. We talked for a while, I took it for a test drive. I also did a title check later to make sure it was actually his car and not stolen.
