Talk about a good deal! This is one kid that proves hard work pays off…and you don't even have to spend any money!
Craigslist is a pretty powerful tool. You can use the classifieds website to buy things you would never find in stores, like this old clawfoot bathtub. You can use it to adopt animals in need or even make people laugh with a funny post knocking your ex. However, one thing you probably haven't used Craigslist for is to barter.
Trade is sort of an old art form in today's world, and it's such a shame. You can acquire things you would never, ever buy for yourself or know where to find. One brilliant young man realized this hole in our system and set out to prove that with just a little time, patience, and posting, you can make out like a bandit on Craigslist's "barter" section.
When Steven Ortiz of Glendale, California was just 15 years old, he decided to try and trade an old cell phone someone gave him. Roughly two years and 14 trades later, Ortiz was the proud owner of a Porsche Boxster. His story made headlines all over, and naturally, Ortiz was in the market to trade up.
