SOLD

I am a Kijiji believer.

The temperature reached, just barely, double digits above zero today. You know what that means? Spring Cleaning! Trent and I did a thorough clean-sweep today. It felt good.

In so doing, we decided on a couple things that needed to go. And where do you take things when they need to go? Kijiji! So this morning Trent took some pictures, I set up an account and within minutes our stuff was posted:








Priced to sell baby.

Within minutes, and I mean minutes you can count on your hand, I got a call and the stero was gone. SOLD.

By 6pm I got another call, printer still available? Yep. SOLD.

8pm tonight, mini-fridge - SOLD.

In less than 12 hours. SOLD SOLD SOLD. I am a Kijiji believer.
Where else in the world, when else in time, could you say "this is for sale" and within hours have sold it for exactly what you were asking for to a complete stranger - spending nothing on advertising and losing no time to spread the word.

And who knew a site called Kijiji would ever be taken seriously?

  1. People still buy stereos like that? If you lived closer I would have bought the fridge. My Dad buys so much pop he needs his own little fridge by the tv... I suppose I'd be supporting his bad habit then. Oh well.. :)

  2. Haha, yeah we pretty much gave it away. Mostly I just needed it gone so I figured I'd try kijiji before I tried the dumpster.
