Craigslist Addict!

Shopping on craigslist is a community. I call it a community because it is made up of a diverse group of people all looking for something they need or want. We have that in common. We are held together by a need or a want for something, and are typically just looking for a good deal. Craigslist shoppers don't necessairly share in the same interests, other than a bargain, as there are literally thousands of different items for sale, or wanted or for trade at any given point in time. There isn't usually a place for tension within the Craigslist community because we are all just shopping. Every once in a while you will get someone that posts something negative about another posting, but there's always going to be that one person bringing you down right. I think most of us just ignore it, because in the grand scheme of things, what does it really matter if they are selling something that's only worth $5 and they are asking $100? I mean that's their perogative, right?

I love this community of Craigslist shoppers, because I feel right at home. We are all looking to buy or sell something, that could be important to me, or was to someone else at one point. I really first got into it when I had my daughter almost 2 years ago and was always looking for good deals on nice, used clothes, shoes, toys or furniture. Then it turned into my real estate agent, and it helped me find my lovely new home. It is just a great community to all come together to help suit our basic needs. And really that's what communities do, help suit our basic needs. It can help us earn extra money by selling things we don't need; or it can help us get a good deal on something we do need. I am proud to be a part of, and an advocate for the Craigslist shopping community!
