How to Use Craigslist to Buy and Sell in Your Local Area

Craigslist is ancient in terms of websites. The site was created in 1995 by a guy named Craig Newmark (hence the site’s name).

If you know what you’re doing, you can make good money flipping things on the site, or find great deals on the stuff you need.

In your title, try to be descriptive and include as many relevant keywords as possible, so your item will show up in more search results.
