I admit that I am a Kijiji (like Craigslist) junkie.
If there is something that I want or need I will start looking and keep looking until I find what I want for a good price.
Just picked up a Yakima Lopro ski/cargo box for the new car in very good condition for less than 1/3 of the new cost. Had picked up the Yakima round bar Qtowers, clips and bars that were used for less than a year for $200 off new price.
Now I am having a bit of a Kijiji letdown. Nothing to shop for.
Oh well better go look for something I don't need....

FWIW, ad hunt'r has stopped working in the last couple of days. CL ads show up but the links to individual ads lead to no where.

I buy ALL my tools used from Craigslist/kijiji. I often use them for a project and then just re-sell them. I almost never lose money.

I bought two tire machines a month ago for $300. I just sold the crappy one for $250.

My Snap-On tire balancer was $900 used, but three of us share it, so I only paid $300.

Now I have my own tire shop.

Picked up a Hard top for our new to us Mercedes 380SL for only $80.00 off of Craig's list. It was only 4 miles from my house, and in better condition than the one that came with our car. (has a broken rear window)

The Super is arguably one of the best small combo amps ever. Easily worth into the thousands, and I mean a couple to several. Well done. Loud as hell, though, so if you're looking for a bedroom amp that's not going to be it.
If you want a compact solid state amp I've got a GK ML 250 I'm selling soon.

Bought this woodworking vice at a second hand store for $60. They are on eBay for $85 and up. The thing weight 35 pounds or so. Cast iron with no cracks. I've been on the lookout for one for years. It has the original handle which is hard to come by. Made by Columbian in Cleveland Ohio, U. S. of A.

Craig has been VERY good to me.

Bought my '85 M491 Targa off of C-list for a great price back in '11. Sat unsold for a week before I could get the seller to send me a picture of the VIN. I refused to go look at until I saw the picture. It was only 40 miles away, but I was not making the drive until I knew it was legit. : ). Ahh, the good old days...

And 5 Fuchs - 3 of which were '67 s I sold to Harvey from which I used the profit to pay for my lift.
