If you don’t know what craigslist is you may just be living under a rock. While there are many uses, such as finding some locals to play Halo with on the weekend, it’s also a great tool for finding other people’s crap at ridiculous prices. I usually just post stuff under the free section. Within an hour whatever I post is off my front lawn and in someone’s pickup truck. Sweet.

Every now and then you find a sweet gem. Like these 15 x 15 x 36 Black Lucite Pedestals that appear online about a half hour after I left work. With any luck I can pick them up tomorrow. Perfect for displaying my slanted cubes. And any plants my wife feels needs to be raised far above where my son can reach.

Use it! I’m lucky to be in the Bay Area where the company is located. People use it here more than garage sales. Those in my home of Detroit are not so lucky. Bummer.
