Even though Craigslist may be one of the biggest and oldest sites to buy and sell stuff locally, what if you are looking for an alternative site because you are not having any success or want more options?
Here are several sites like Craigslist where you can increase the number of people seeing your items if you are a seller and make it easier to find that one-of-a-kind item if you are a buyer.
If you’ve bought a new or used car from a dealership, you’ve probably experienced this. After spending an hour or four haggling over the price of the car you finally come to a deal.

You can rent just about anything these days from the rent-to-own businesses: sofas, dining room sets, mattresses, refrigerators, televisions, laptops, stoves, washer and dryer sets, and more for the low monthly fee with no credit checks, down payments, or even bank accounts needed.
Does it sound too good to be true? You betcha.
Just when you thought the stylish trend of taking a pair of brand new perfectly good pair of jeans and ripping a hole in them and selling them for four times the regular price was stupid, Nordstrom has raised the bar by selling a pair of fake mud jeans for $425.
If you are wondering what in the world are fake mud jeans, they are exactly what it sounds like: jeans covered in fake brown mud.
Self-storage is an interesting concept. Behind rows of corrugated metal doors at the self-storage facility are closets filled with items that people couldn’t bear to throw away.
