U – Umbrellas and other junk shouldn’t be sold on Craigslist; get them for free or at the dollar store.
V – Vans, cars, trucks, and jeeps are sold on Craigslist, but check the Kelley Blue Book first.
W – Wait to buy a purchase you are unsure about it; yes it may be gone tomorrow, but don’t jump to make a decision on huge purchases, like a new car.
X – Xtra (yes I couldn’t think of an X) may be added as a bonus, resulting in a good deal for you.
Y – You are the buyer; no one is forcing you to buy junk on Craigslist.
Z – Zebras are something you won’t find for sale on Craigslist (sorry, I couldn’t think of a tip that started with Z).
