Dave Ramsey would be proud

Ok, so i told you how I love deals and bargains... did I tell you how I got a 32" HDTV that hangs on the wall - NEW IN THE BOX - for only $400.00. ($150.00 less than the sale price).. I was so proud of hanging in there and not purchasing without price shopping first... I found it on www.craigslist.com ! It was NIB and being sold by gentleman that lives near me - he delivered it and everything. Now, I was a bit skeptical and made sure I asked all the questions I could think of to make sure this was legit and that it wasn't walked out of someones back door..

The part Dave Ramsey would be proud of was the way I paid him... He wanted $450.00 and I am not a good haggler or negotiator - so I simply made sure I had a check ready to write for $450.00 and only $400.00 in cash and gave him the option of which one he wanted - he took the cash! So, I was extremely pleased with my bargain for the day on an item that I WANTED badly and didn't want to pay $650.00 to purchase... not to mention that I had no sales tax to pay... So, check it out - www.craigslist.com and search out the items that you might be looking for.
