Craig's List or Not?

I don't know about you, but I have always have good luck with Craig's List. Now, my husband has a great deal to do with that, but good luck none-the-less. My favorite category to watch is the Antiques. Oh, If I only had a spare $300 the other day I would have snatched this Antique French Wine Cage that holds 200 bottles of wine!!! Ok, #1 I love anything French and antique is a huge bonus, but I looked up how much this beauty was going for and people....


on 1stdibs.com which is where alot of the designers shop, it was $2400!!! I sulked for a good little bit that day....
And here is a perfect example of what you can get for FREE from Craig's list. Yes we got this concrete table with steel base for FREE off Craig's List. I just love it! FREE people, FREE!!
