craiglist rocks!

[schmism]

So ive got my new (to me) TC33 lined up and should be takeing delivery in a couple of weeks.

so i poped onto craiglist the other night looking for impliments.

BIGNO!

$75 and its mine.

I know its a big one for my "little" tractor but the guys says its ONLY a 6' one so i figure at worst ill bust out the plasma cutter and slice off a foot and turn the leftover into a plow or something.

btw this SHOULD be my new "toy"

i also ordered 2 rear remotes and plan on installing them myself.

Don't let the cat out of the bag on Craigslist's. I pick up most of my deals there also. (smile)

Nice deal on the blade.

A 6' blade will work just fine for your tractor. I run a 6' on my Kubota B2710. The blade, as a minimum, should at least cover your tracks.

Is there a fee for buying or selling on craigslist? I havent used it yet but have been watching it for a little while now..

No, it's totally free. They make their money from charging for employment ads. In some areas of the country CraigsList is putting a dent in the local newspaper classifieds. Why pay when you can list for free.

I have bought and sold several items on Craigslist. It's a lot better than Ebay.

It is ebay - they own a 25% stake in it.

You can bet one thing, if eBay owns it they'll figure out a way to make you pay for it sooner or later.

Ebay owns a 25% equity position in Craigslist the corporation because one of the original team members sold his equity to them in 2004. According to Craig Newmark, they (Ebay) have no say-so whatsoever in the day to day operation and decision making. Craig has stated that he views Ebay as a way to make available expertise and resources that Craigslist lacks.

Doubtful. Craigslist is BAILING it -- the whole premise of the website is to allow people to place and view ads for FREE.

But WAIT when eBay (Auctionweb) started a LOT of things were free at the site. See any now?
