- Good search options– ability to choose by price, location, and whether the item has a picture or not
- Nice search option through a map
Site Cons
- Some spam articles which aren’t selling anything
- Many items are in poor or damaged condition– though this is to be expected when they’re free

Other Tips
- You can choose to list all items as thumbnails, a gallery, or even on a map, so you can see what’s closest to you

Overview
While Craigslist Free Stuff does have a very limited range, and is pretty ugly to look at for any period of time, it’s definitely worth checking it out once in a while to see if there’s anything on there that takes your fancy- you never know if that thing you’ve been saving up for for months might just turn up for free!
