Craigslist amuses the heck out of me right now - tons of people trying to sell stuff off before they move. 90% or so of the leases in Davis run early September to the end of August, so the end of August is always an insane mess of people trying to get rid of their stuff.

I've done the frantic trying to sell off furniture before moving and have sympathy, but in August it's just silly. Who in their right mind is going to pay $60 for a twin mattress when you can go out to any apartment complex and find a half dozen perfectly decent ones lined up by the dumpster for free, or go to Ikea and get a new one for $70?

I suppose it's worth a try, but they'd probably have better luck trying for $15 or something. Maybe they plan to go down later in the week.

Just because I can...

I am SUCH a freegan. Only thing I have issue with is the open liquids. (I might go for the flour) and the stained undergarments :)
