There is no dearth of online marketplaces. Information super highway is one of the best routes to both sell and buy. The convenience it offers for anyone with just a credit card is truely incredible. For a capitalistic economy like US, it is important that people buy and sell and there is constant money rotation. Craigslist is one of them, though you cannot pay over the internet, but then checkout pictures/details and then contact the seller, visit him/her and buy it.
I came to know of the site through my friends and have now started taking it seriously. The amount of buying or selling that happens over this site is tremendous. Although there has been incidents involving wrong usage of the website. For example, prostitution, mugging after posting to sell a Porsche and things like that have happened in the past.
But what is fascinating is that you will find almost everything sold and bought over this website. If you want to have a good laugh then you must visit the 'free' section of the site. Last time i visited this section intially i was surprised how many things are given away as free stuff. Ofcourse lot of those are good enough to be trashed. Some of the funny ones that i saw are some one offering to give away an extra pack of milk he has bought, free hair cuts etc.,
But for that you will find good deals on used cars, rented houses, furniture etc. But the most important thing needed to make a good deal is the ability to understand good stuff and commit on it instantly. All good stuff including cars gets picked in a matter of hours!!! So if you are in the US(dont know elsewhere) and want to buy something quick and economical for short term needs hit off to craigslist - All the Best!!

Hey jo - a very useful site! I'm hooked to this site and spending lots of time to find a acco & car. Of course I still have time to decide however since Summer is starting soon, the rates may go upwards, so trying react soon.
Hey Chals, then now might be a good time to see what is the price range and how soon some car models gets picked up or things like that.. For the actually buying you will have to do it only when you arrive. Good things come and go pretty quickly, once you have your available finance, criteria selection clear in mind then it is only a matter of quick decision. I am also coming up with my postings on how to buy a new car and the criteria to be considered while buying an used car.
