Not a craiglist shopper and not trying to be a wiseguy (really :)) but check this thread: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?144058-Whats-Your-Best-Craigslist-Score

DeWalt 7740 Radial Arm Saw for free. It was built the year I was born. (not really that old...heh heh:) ) They don't build machinery like that anymore.

I don't consider these steals but some that come to mind worth the money:

- a 10" Delta contractors table saw in excellent condition for $200
- a 5500 watt generator with only about 5 hrs for $275
- an AMF trampoline the old rectangular size not made any more in great condition for $20
- several cell phones from $20 - 40
