Midwest Scavenger: 50 Things That Could Be Yours
Plus A NEW DIY Section!

032009-mwscv.jpg 022909-midwest.jpg This week for our Midwest Craigslist Scavenger, we decided to add in a little fun. Usually when we are looking for these fabulous steals of deals we are mainly looking at household goods and furniture. But as we were cruising our own Kansas City Craigslist we started checking into the arts+crafts section and the materials section and found some great DIY things. So this week, only 50% of our finds are "typical finds" (ie: retro, dm, mc, modern, vintage) and the other half are things to help you finish up projects around the home for less!

    C'mon guys, it's really not that hard in this age of HTML to make links from the thumbnail pic directly to the detail page.

    For crying out loud, rapidtransitman...it's also really not that hard to scroll down a bit and match the words to the photo.

    Why the hell do 80% of the people who comment on AT have to be such dickheads? They don't have to post all this useful information for us. It's not like you are paying for a service or something.

    Dickheadery is contagious. I am convinced of this.
