Thread: CRAIGS LIST SCORE! (follow up on buying items on Craigs List Post)

Tweet

Hello fellow Haunters! So today I posted a thread about going to buy some items listed on Craigs List. My first buy from Craigs List and it was a success!! DH and I met this couple at 5 pm today, and she had tubs full of decor. We were mostly looking for outdoor items for our yard haunt and she had quite a few! Many things from Spirit and new in boxes. Things we saw but did not buy were TONS of scene setters....new in packages, many 50 feet long. Some type of Gemmy or similar product skeleton with moving mouth in a black/orange suit. We didnt buy him bc it really wasnt our style, and it didnt have the adapter, wasnt sure what it did, if it worked, etc. Lots of costumes and some paper products. She did have a Spirit Spider punch bowl new in the box, but we really arent punch drinking people, especially with the little cups, so we passed on that also. Then there were a few assorted items....a three headed dog prop, some type of coffin to put together, but we got some GREAT things! Here is the list with pictures!! Oh, and most importantly, we paid $125 for it all !!...she wanted $150, I offered $125 and she took it. Basically, it was her aunts items that passed away, and she was just trying to get rid of it so she could free up her garage. She said she doesnt even pass out candy or care about Halloween Bad for her, GREAT for me!!

That is a great score! I'm so jealous!

Why did she have all that stuff if she didn't even like Halloween????

Congrats on a great score!

Frankie's Girl - MM1 mentioned in the post that it was all her aunt's, who passed away. I bet the aunt would be happy to know its all going to someone who appreciates it!

Man, that's awesome! I search craigslist daily and don't find squat. Congrats!

Looks like you made out like a bandit. Never see anything on craigs list around here.

Nice sig btw!

Ok-heres a photo of it all....

Thanks for replies! If it wasnt for this forum, I never would have even thought about looking on craigs list! I am going to be visiting my parents on friday and meeting another girl who is selling $3500.00 worth of decor for $500.00 or best offer...so maybe I will have more to add to the collection!
Keep looking daily, thats how I found all this!!

Nice Haul ! Never find anything on craig's list here though. There are a couple of people who always post their wanting halloween stuff. Might be worth a try instead of waiting for others to post.

Wow! Excellent score! Congrats. And good luck with the next go round. Hope you get lots of stuff!!
