Lately I’ve been doing a lot of looking around on Craigslist which is basically a local online auction site similar to Ebay without the centralized control. I know quite a bit about computers and specifically about Apple Computers. I was able to find a few deals recently that have been of the "almost to good to be true" variety. I’ve bought a few things and been very lucky to find buyers of those things. I’m sort of the middle man who recognizes the value in something and helps move those items from people who either don’t see the value or don’t know how to sell.
So to make a long story short over my morning coffee I found a computer that was a great deal and was able to buy and sell it all in the same day and make enough money to buy the kayak that I wanted.
The great thing about it was that everyone involved was happy with their deal. The person selling the computer just wanted the space, the person buying it got a good deal and the person I bought the kayak from was happy with what I offered him.
The score: Yesterday $50 ahead and a new kayak in the garage. Not too bad.
