My Boat

I've never used craigslist to sell anything before, but I realized today that I need to get rid of my row boat. We are moving next weekend and we need to get rid of all this stuff. So I decided to put the boat on craigslist this week and if it wasn't gone in a week, I'd take it to the dump. It's been a good boat for me, but it's just not practical to live in an apartment with a boat (or so I hear).

So I took the ol' boat out of the garage, took a few pictures of it, and even found a couple pictures from years ago when I took it to the beach. I adjusted the photos to improve contrast, add a vignette, etc. I wrote a short little blurb about the boat and posted it all to craigslist.

The result? I received the first call 10 minutes after submitting the post. I ended up getting 8 calls (two after I took this screenshot) about the boat and having someone show up on my doorstep to haul it away in a truck. All of this happened within 45 minutes of making my first craigslist post.

Thanks, craigslist!
