Ridgecrest's version of KSL and Craigslist

I've always been super impressed and a little jealous of my relatives' access to buy/sell/trading via Craigslist and KSL.  I didn't think we had anything like that here.

We've tried eBay a few times, but that can be disheartening when you "sell" something and end up in the red after you ship it out, ha-ha!  And thinking of doing a garage sale makes me super-UN-excited.

We do "Goodwill runs" all the time, but after cleaning out some old video games and DVDs I decided to try to make a little more than the good feeling I get in my heart when I donate to Goodwill.  Not that this is a bad thing.  I just wanted to try an experiment.

Well, I hit the Ridgecrest jackpot this weekend using our desert version:  Facebook pages!  There are two very busy buy/sell/trade/ISO (in search of) pages for Ridgecrest, and I was shocked at how quickly I was able to get some cash in my hand and be rid of items we hadn't used in a long time.

$55 later and we are feeling like we're rolling in the dough!  A friend coming by for some items on Monday will bring the total to $75.   Fun!
