First off I would like to thank the rich guy in West Austin for selling us this awesome computer chair that my butt is now very comfortably in. Why you felt it necessary to take the time and post such a nice chair for the low low price of $10 on Craigslist while you were sitting in your $800,000 house with perfect views of the city skyline is beyond me. But I am quite thankful that you did. Let me know when you are selling your house. I may be interested.
Secondly - Thanks to the cool guy who sold us a 1 year-old couch in nearly perfect condition for so little money. I refuse to post the amount we paid on the internet for fear the couch will not get the respect it deserves. All I can say is it is lovely and grayish and does not try to eat me when I sit like my last couch did - and that, my friend, is priceless.
My number 3 thanks goes to the guy who is selling me his huge and extremely cool standing wardrobe in mint condition today for $150. Words cannot express how happy I am to not be paying full price for this item. I have priced them new before, and lets just say that you and $10 Chair Guy must be getting your resale values from the same insane source. From now on every time I don't have to cram myself into my tiny closet and fight invisible hanger tangling trolls for ownership of my clothes, I will think of you. My husband also thanks you, as I can now finally give him space to hang his pants again.
And last but not least - a big fat greatful "go team!" to the folks who wrote that Android app that notifies me every time something awesome goes up for sale on Craigslist. Between the stuff I actually want to buy, the hilarious posts like this one, and the posts offering to trade sex for couches (yes, there was one posted just yesterday and she likes large red teddies and thinks you need a sensual massage) - heck, I may never look up from my phone again!
My obsessions are often unhealthy, but at least this one is green. I may never buy anything new again.
