using the site. You never know what will be posted next and you never know what kind of deal you can find.
Bonus Tip If you really want a free item posted on Craigslist, offer the person a little bit of money for the item. This will put you ahead of the competition, especially for a competitive item that many other people may be interested in picking up for free. For example, lets say someone lists a working dish washer in good condition. This would most likely draw a lot of attention because it is a large appliance. And lets say the person recieves 50 emails within the first hour of posting, all from people willing to pick it up for free. However, if that person recieves a message offering some money for it, that will stand out from the typical Craigslist vultures that want everything for free. And if someone is willing to part with something for free, it’s a no-brainer for them to accept a little cash for the exchange. Do you need professional PDFs? Try PDFmyURL!

How Should You Approach the Offer? Keep it short and sweet. Put your offer in the subject line of your email.
Be clear in your subject line that you are offering cash for their item. The subject is the first thing they’ll see, so you need to stand out from the rest. Then keep the body of your email short and quickly get to the point. Offer your phone number or another way of contacting you. That’s it! And of course, be sure you meet in a safe place when you pick up your item. My Google Profile: +NickGCL Please share this article on Twitter and Facebook.
