Top 16 Ways the Web Can Save You Money 12



New and Used Goods

Whether you're in the market for furniture, a new car, or an autographed Def Leppard poster, you can always turn to sites like craigslist.com and eBay for great deals. Craigslist is better for guaranteed quality, since you'll generally be able to view the product in person before you buy it. On the other hand, eBay offers you the chance to buy direct from companies, find rarities around the world, and gives you the thrill of victory (plus some guarantees in case the seller turns out to be a con artist). Then there's Freecycle, a service that hooks up people who are getting rid of products with those who want them, offering them for free and sparing goods from ending in the trash. You'll have to proceed with a modicum of caution in both, and even if you don't find something you want, you can always sell off your junk for extra dough or give it away for peace of mind.
