Craigs List is ok for looking for tools or motorcycles or weird personal listings, but since it is local, you are forced to deal with people face to face. While at times this can be fun, most times you are running around hunting for someones house hoping they are where they say they’ll be. Then there are the flakes who decide the other person they talked to who has not payed up deserves a second chance, even though you are ready to go. I guess since they are getting strung along, they feel it is cool to string you along too. (Recent fiasco trying to get some scaffolding of all things.)

I am going to give Ebay another try with a fairly rare RPG book I picked up at GenCon in 2000. The Dune RPG book, while very cool to have in my collection is just worth too damn much for me to keep on my shelf. It generally sells anywhere from $100 to $200 and I really have a gadget jones on for a couple of things. So we’ll see if this goes well. Currently there are a couple of copies up, but the people listing them obviously are not willing to let it go based on how they are posting their auctions. I’ll wait till those listings end, see if they sell or not and go from there.
