Is there a strategy for Craig's List? Be very fast!!! I try to be on at the times when there is the most activity which seems to be early and evening. The squared away people leave a number. The not so squared away leave no contact info. I call or email immediately with my home and cell #'s and assure them I will be there at the pre-arranged time. I'd guess and say about one in ten times I get the item. I can't explain how a listing comes up and within 2-3 minutes it's gone!
Lots of folks on CL think they have a gold mine in scrap that they're throwing out on the curb when in fact it's 3x the fuel $ to drive there.
A CL idea that works much better for me is under the Garage Sales section. I pay attention to multi family, moving, and high concentrations in one area. I'm only concerned with the times they get over. I had my springs sagging on my 2500hd today and it was only Saturday. Sunday will be even better!
