Craigslist - I'm in love.

Does anyone else obsessively check their local Craigslist like I do?  I just love it.  It's like an Easter Egg Hunt and opening a Cracker Jack box all in one... you never know what you'll find and if it will be the BIG deal/prize of the day!

I've been stalking CL for a week or so now looking for a highchair for Sophia.  I decided to skip the highchair route and use the Bumbo first and then get a booster later.  Sophie has other plans... She DESPISES her Bumbo.  She is a 5 month old who can ALMOST get out of the Bumbo herself.  She literally stiffens her body to stand up out of the thing!  Hence, the need for a highchair!

As I stalked, I emailed and tried to haggle a few, but no success and then yesterday, I found it!  The highchair that I've been waiting for...



And it's all mine, Sophie's, whoever's... this afternoon!  Looks brand new and I love it, especially for the $20 we spent!  I cannot wait until Hubby gets home with it tonight!
I absolutely love CL, but am I alone in thinking that it feels like you're setting up a drug deal when you're deciding where to meet to exchange money/items?!?  I couldn't help but keep thinking this when I was emailing the person back and forth last night!  
Have you found anything awesome on your local CL?
