Participant[quote=UCGal]Craigslist? It’s free. I’ve sold stuff on ebay – even my husband’s old boat… but craigslist is free. Last two cars we sold were craiglist. Not to mention various stuff we came across when we cleaned out the garage.[/quote]
I definitely prefer to use Craigslist if possible, however for esoteric items I’ve found that it’s hard to find a buyer. EBay has many more potential buyers and as a result the item can sell for more money.

ParticipantThe safest way to make online purchases is using a credit card with a “virtual” one time use number. Citibank and Discover offer this service and I’m sure a number of other cards do as well.
I avoid using Paypal unless it’s the only option. I hate EBay and everything they own and really wish that there was a better option for selling used stuff online.

Participant[quote=earlyretirement]However, the stupidest investment I ever made was trying to catch the falling knife on Washington Mutual. I figured it was “too big to fail” and I made the horrible mistake of buying a TON of it 2 days before it failed. I ended up losing about $250,000 in a matter of a few days when the government essentially handed it over to Chase.[/quote]
I lost some money buying calls on WaMu as well right before they went under. I never quite understood how for some banks the shares ended up skyrocketing after being “sold” by the FDIC to other banks whereas WaMu shareholders were wiped out completely. When I first heard that Chase had bought WaMu I thought I was going to cash out big. It was only when the details worked out that I realized I wouldn’t be getting anything.
