A sign of the times

We all have heard--and most of us are probably aware first hand--that the economy is kind of in the toilet.

What you might not have known is that people are STRIKING IT RICH on Craigslist. You can too. And the best part is that you probably already have laying around what you need to get started in making your fortune on CL:

2 partial rolls of garbage bags
20 post-it pads (Steal 'em from work. No one will know. KIDDING! Never do that.)
7 pens
a doily
another doily
yet another doily
one more doily
okay just kidding... this is the last doily
an assortment of vacuum cleaner bags
a box of rocks

And viola! You are the proud owner of $62. That's enough for a lavish meal of sushi, several pieces of costume jewelry, or five pizzas. Now don't you feel smart?

$10 for two partial rolls of garbage bags? Someone definitely took those from work.

The best part about the garbage bag post is not the price but the fact that whoever is selling them obviously has no idea what a gallon is!

gotta love that entrepreneurial spirit!

Are you bored at work too?

Just checking.

Wow! I love how specific everything is. 7 pens. Partially used roll. One doily.

Amazing.

I have a very large assortment of shoes I want to sell. Maybe I can make some money on them!

That is awesome. We tease my mom all the time and tell her that if we sell every knick knack in her house for $1, we will be millionaires.

Sara said...

I would like one pen for 75 cents please.
