Who is addicted to Craigslist?

<p>I am. I find myself dedicating a large amount of time buying and selling random stuff on craigslist. I get a kick from buying iphones for 200 and turn it around for 350 or so. I always buy video games in packages and reselling games in individual. Dvd’s are great too. When summer comes I will yard-sale them $5 each when I bought it for less than 2 in the first place.</p>

<p>This addiction is turning me into some kind of monster. But I think this will be a great hook for future business schools. </p>

<p>Other online addictions:</p>

<p>Slickdeals. I like free magazines. Ever since I found out you can get subscriptions for almost 10% of newstand prices, I have been ordering like crazy.</p>

<p>Digg, reddit.
CNN or msnbc when I need to find out what’s going on. </p>

<p>Google finance (I have to keep this portfolio for a project, and it eats up hours of my time during my free classes. Looking at revenue sheets and PE is always fun but unrewarding)</p>

<p>Pet peeves:
Lolcats; big poster with FAIL and ostentatious red circles;</p>

<p>-</p>

<p>This is not restricted to craigslist anymore. But I’d like to hear your idiosyncrasies with the interwebs.</p>

<p>best of CL and rants are good. </p>

<p>I like looking at extreme left or neonazi rants about obama.</p>

<p>Edit: I forgot how much I loathe myself for looking at this forum but cannot stop doing so.</p>

<p>you are joking. beyond pepperjack, cheddar and swiss (it’s becoming a subways line), I am totally ignorant of cheese, even though I cook for the family almost daily.</p>

5

<p>i came from a part of the world in which doesn’t eat cheese. My only knowledge of cheese prior to the age of 12 (when I moved to US) was a poorly translated wallace and gromit movie and tom and jerry.</p>

<p>I thought cheese was just, cheese.</p>

6

<p>jesus, looks like you are not the first one for coming up with such pragmatic usage for aged diary products.</p>

7

<p>your pun was grate, i think you should whey your words because some people might be feta-p with your cheesy remarks.</p>

8

<p>obvious ■■■■■ is obvious</p>

<p>well wasn’t that pasteurizing.</p>

10

<p>how does chedda get cheddar???</p>

11

<p>Work with the stock market. It’s much more exciting.</p>

<p>Until you lose your first thousand. Then things get serious, and you soon find yourself printing out news articles and comparing charts, analyzing trends and reading opinions, pouring your life into day trading…</p>

<p>It’s a nasty world.</p>

<p>i was up 30% with my $1 million of fake money. It was ahead 10% with my benchmark (russell 2500)</p>

<p>ODP is king! Not looking so well for the next few weeks, but we will see how healthcare goes, it’s like 40% of my portfolio.</p>

13

<p>I need to find a good fake investing site.</p>

14

<p>marketwatch is good for some games</p>

<p>marketocracy for large portfolio (they try to mimic style of a fund, in which you must meet certain criteria in order to “comply”. Such as no holding is greater than 20% and certain diversification req.)</p>

<p>I use google finance to just manage my portfolio. For example I record the transaction on it and I can watch the charts in real time since most of these sites cant do real time and delayed. I can also use it to analyze PE and such but I don’t actually do it systematically for any specific purpose at all. It looks pretty fancy though.</p>

15

<p>those cheese puns were just a little ridiculous.</p>

16

<p>I actually bought a Blackberry Storm on Craigslist for $50. The person thought it was broken because it wouldn’t turn on.</p>

<p>Turns out the battery was defective and I only had to buy another one for $50ish. :slight_smile: I love Craigslist</p>

17

<p>i love the free+cheap pianos and organs on craigslist too</p>

<p>Craigslist=goodtime. I find friends and scour the free stuff then we drive to every place within 25 miles and pick up whatever it is. microwaving random stuff is a blast til the microwave fries out, attaching a couch to a fridge and going “tobaggoning” with it is so dangerous especially off jumps (someone broke an arm), jumping off the school roof into the back of a truck with 4 mattresses stacked almost caused the principal a heartattack</p>

<p>hahahahaahahaha, purrrrfect.</p>
