I've got an extremely nice (dare I say "perfect") Rid-Jid for sale on ebay if anyone needs the ultimate vintage ironing board to go with their collection of vintage steam irons. I'm not sure how accurate ebay's shipping calculator is, but I'll give you a refund if you wind up overpaying. It...

At the risk of sounding like I'm trying to hock my wares to you guys, I've got a set of unused flatware for sale on ebay incase anyone's in need. [this post was last edited: 4/15/2011-14:27] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200598477363

If anyone wants this, I can pick it up and hold on to it for a short time until you get here to pick it up, or if you're in the LA or SF areas I can bring it to you for a reasonable fee. http://slo.craigslist.org/zip/2302584045.html

Today was the "big" debut of the Craigslist Wolf grill. Took me about 2 weeks to get all the parts in order to convert it from natural gas to propane. The conversion turned out well and it made quite an impact today in the concession stand for my daughter's gymnastics meet. I smoked 10...

I finally scored a Vita Mix 3600. Been hot for one after picking up an ACME Juicerator at a garage sale a couple months ago. I'd wanted a quality juicer for a long time, and thought the ACME would be "it" until I used it a couple times and discovered how much fruit it wasted by slinging it...

Hi, My name is Todd and I have a Craigslist addiction. (This is the part where you all give me a warm welcome.....) It's been quite a week on CL, and I just had to share my latest haul. But before I get to that, I scored a $300+ "Endless Summer" patio heater for free earlier in the week. So...

Time to put my Kill-A-Watt meter to use testing my 1952 Philco. The meter just measured the first cycle of the compressor since plugging the meter in, and the compressor pulls 2.8amps and burns .01kwh of power in it's 4min cycle. It'll be interesting to see what it uses in 24hrs. More to...

Back in Nov. I picked up a Model S-600 propane powered Servel fridge. It was still in use in a rural cabin. I'd never seen one before, so it's pretty cool. I'm familiar with propane powered absorption refrigerators because I service them in camping trailers. But I've never had one that's...

Couldn't resist this set of Corning Centura "Summerhill" pattern dishes that popped up on Craigslist yesterday. 50 pieces; pretty much full setting for 8 (dinner plates, salad plates, bread plates, cereal bowls, 3 vegetable serving bowls, sugar bowl with lid, coffee/tea cups, and saucers....all...

Some of you may remember that last month I bought a late 50's, early 60's GE under cabinet food freezer. Thought I'd report back on how it's doing, both functionally and electricity consumption wise. The good news is that it runs beautifully and makes huge cold. The bad news is that my...

The recent popcycle/icecream truck.....turned milk truck......thread got me thinking; I still love milk out of glass bottles. We have 4 milk bottles with plastic snap caps, and continue to use them. The milk just seems colder and tastes better, and they fit in the '52 Philco much nicer...

I have to admit, I still love the picture quality of CRT style televisions. More specifically, the big Sony XBR Trinitrons of years gone by. Just picked up a big 40" Sony XBR (KV-40XBR800) with matching stand for $50. Didn't even take it out of my pickup...I just drove it right over to the...

Found this at a yard sale today for less than $20. (Appear to run about $200 online) It was filthy, but a quick bath of all the stainless in hot bleach water, and a wipe down with Windex, and it looks like new. Dropped 3lbs of organic apples into it and made about 3-1/2 glasses of juice. Each...

A vintage window air conditioner. It's the only thing I've not yet scored for our home. Are these things just unobtainium, or have I not been living right? Anyone have one and if so, care to show it off?

Thought some of you might be interested in this little gem of an invention. Just purchased 2 of these from Costco for $18.59ea. Fantastic product, doesn't make the toilet flush worse in either mode, and really does only take about 10min to install. YMMV, of course. Water is pretty dear...

My dad sent me 20lbs of Silver (Coho) Salmon from Alaska this week. The freezer in the '52 Philco is pretty full so I had to ask a buddy for space in one of his big upright freezers. Decided to jump on CL and sure enough, for $45 dragged home a 2 door GE "under cabinet" freezer. I'm guessing...

A few years ago I scored an Oster "Meat Grinder" with it's can opener attachment at our local swapmeet. A little seach on ebay revealed that there were meat grinder and ice cube crusher attachments available, both of which I eventually found. Never really had an interest or need for grinding...

Frigidare fridge people; anyone need 1 ice cube tray? I picked one up at a yard sale today figuring someone here might like it. It's a silver aluminum standard size tray with the swivel handle stamped "frigidare." It's free, you pay actual shipping. Email me directly at: austinado16 at cs...

Couldn't pass up this little GE "Speed Control" mixer today at a yard sale for 2 bucks. It was filthy, but cleaned up nice. Show off yours!
