Item #1 - HP Officejet 7210 All-in-One

I have acquired an HP Officejet 7210 All-in-One printer for free off of Craigslist! It was complete with the power cable and a 10’ USB cable. It came from an orthodontic’s office located only 5 minutes from my house. It’s in great condition and works perfectly. The only unfortunate part about the printer is that it didn’t come with the software. It’s not a huge problem since HP offers all of its software on its website. I was pretty lucky to obtain this bad boy. I rolled up literally 30 seconds before another guy did! I think he was a tad ticked, but, I was on top of my game and got there first… Here’s a picture and link to the hardware.

Welcome to the Experiment

Ever since the economy took a turn south, I’ve been seeing people become more and more thrifty. People are scavenging for deals and free items. I am one of those people. Money is tight and I’m looking out for the screaming deal I want. Places like Goodwill and Value Village are thriving. While local stores are slashing prices, I’ve been looking on Craigslist. Craigslist is a great place to find things from all over your area at deep discounted prices. Even free…

My “Craigslist Experiment” is to pick up an object off of Craigslist’s Free section. Once I have acquired said item, I will use the Barter section of Craigslist to see what I can trade for. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I’m going to rely on that principle and see what happens. I hope that the Barter section treats me well!

If you have interest in my experiment, I will keep frequent tabs on my Craigslist objects received and objects up for barter. You’ll be able to find links next to each object listed from here on out. Enjoy.
