What search words do you use to find these great scavenger items on craigslist?

the denver craigslist does have a lot of super stuff, recently there has been a small reseller of mid century modern who has been heavily listing/advertising on Craigslist. I got 2 great chairs from them, they are located in broomfield (just NW of denver), they had a little warehouse space full of stuff was fun to look around. I think their store was called "The Now"
Looks like the drexel headboard might be from them, as well as a lot of the other MCM stuff listed there.
Im not very big into MCM so i cant really vouch if their collection was really good or not, I dont know enough. I am happy with the 2 chairs I bought. The staff was friendly and helpful tho.

Is there a way to submit prime finds for this? Every so often I find something wonderful in the Detroit list that doesn't work for me but seems a shame not to share.

Rhonda - Each Editor probably uses a different set of words, but my personal favorites are modern, danish, mid century, retro, and then specific designer names. In a city that might not be as established words like grandma or grandpa, old, vintage and antique also work well.
Jen C -You can send them to me @ sarahraeat@gmail.com and I'd be happy to take a look at them. Detroit always has a fantastic Craigslist! You can also tag them with #ATscavenger on Twitter!
