I really don't like this as a replacement for the Craigslist roundup. I realize you're wanting to get the AT Classifieds off the ground. But in doing that you're missing a huge portion of the country. The entire South and huge swaths of the rest of the country are completely left out.
The Craigslist round up used to be the only post I reliably clicked on every day. Now I'm not sure if I need to keep AT in my reader.
I agree with Sarah Beth...this is a disappointment!
I agree. It made a lot of sense to list finds by region.. not time of day. And there are so many less finds now. What gives?
Considering there's only a few posts from Boston and they seem to be ridiculously overpriced - I'd rather have the craigslist roundup.
I agree with all of the above. Not enough stuff in Boston, not enough stuff in general, and priced (often unattainably) higher than craigslist. I used to check the Daily Scavenger every day and found some real treasures with its help, I really hope it comes back.
I agree with everyone above. Craigslist roundup was my favorite AT post.
Agreed... even with craigslist NOLA was only mentioned one a week or so. With this new way I have no incentive to check. To promote AT classified, make it a combination. Finds from craigslist mixed in with finds from AT. Also location based is the only thing that makes sense.
Yeah, I would go with a mix of CL and AT classifieds posts. Mainly it is just that I am pretty certain you will never find the kind of bargain on AT classifieds that you would on CL, just because of who is selling, and who they are selling to.
Like this post, $40 for two gross old patio chairs that you could probably get for $5 each at the Goodwill? I mean, I get that those COULD be nice chairs with some TLC, but they really aren't right now. List them in the CL free section, or cut the price AT LEAST in half, and yeah, sure. But that is exactly the kind of deal I would expect from this community: someone selling an idea, instead of what they actually have, and jacking up the price as a result. Maybe for people with a lot of money that works, but if I had a lot of money I'd just be shopping at real vintage furniture shops where they've already done the work and restored it for me, anyway.
That being said, I will definitely consider listing some of my Pyrex and nicer thrift finds on there next time I do a purge, for exactly the reasons above. But I don't have very high hopes from it as a buyer on a budget, the way I do from CL.
I also agree. Craigslist scavenger was part of my everyday routine.
