My Craig's List buy of the Year.... so far.

I answered an ad on Craig's List tonight that said, "Giant lot of portrait supplies all new. $75.00." https://boise.craigslist.org/pho/4968677990.html


I called and went over to see what he had. Not only did he have all that is shown in the photos, but he had box after box of frames, some which were very nice, indeed! Mattes up the kazoo, albums NIB. I came home with the trunk of my Toyota Avalon FULL, both back floorboards full as well as the back seat AND the front seat! There was only room for me in the driver's seat and my dog standing on the console! Price paid? $50.00.

Nice. What a steal. It is hard to find decent frames at a reasonable price here . Even in the recyle stores

And the mattes! Literally hundreds of them, of every size and finish. New, in the original boxes. Albums, double and triple-hinge frames.... I'm still in shock!

Well, this Craig's List buy has already paid for itself and then some! I traded some of the Senior Year photo albums (eight of them) that came with this CL haul for a SMC Pentax-M f:3.5, 28mm lens, virtually NIB with the original hard leather case, a SMC Pentax-M f:4, 200mm lens, also in the hard leather case and a Schneider-Kreuznach(sp?) 2X TC. I was at a loss for what to do with albums, because I had absolutely NO use for them..... but then this offer came along, and BINGO! (Grins)

I've given away several nice things on Craigslist - but not without difficulty!
