A few years ago a lot of N173 cabinets showed up on CL, from Arizona but they listed them in NY too. I think they eventually got to an auction house via whatever dealer bought them. Craigslist seller knew they were special but (in my memory) was using CL as a reasonably easy way to sell. Sorry my memory is vague -- they were out of my league but it was a thrill to see good stuff show up... Maybe someone here saw them too or bought them.

There was a beautiful Lou Gehrig signed photo for sale in my area a few years back. Unfortunately it was signed in pencil and the clarity against the background was less than great, but it was authentic nonetheless. He wanted a lot and we weren't able to make it work, but that is about the best piece I've seen on craigslist. Just bought a big cooler for my boat though.

Paid $14,600 for about $4000 wholesale of stuff. Spent 50k points to fly to Phoenix to buy it. Once I got there, the condition wasn't nearly as good as described but I was already there and felt like I needed to honor my word.
Some of the pre-war ended up being reprints and the high end auto stuff was mostly forged, but other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Needless to say, my days of searching Craigslist for deals are over.

Craigslist purchases
My best Craigslist buys include an extremely rare KC Chiefs nodder, a tough KC Athletics nodder, several vintage pennants including 1955 Brooklyn and two SB IV pennants, and a group of about 40 1952 Topps high numbers. The cards were mostly in fair to vg condition, but the price was right at about $3/card. My latest find was a program from the Oakland Raiders first regular season game in 1960. I certainly don't search Craigslist all of the time, just every now and then. Most stuff is uninteresting and/or overpriced, but every once in awhile....

I search most every day but seldom find anything. I got a sheet of 1962s (9 cards) for $5 which included a couple cards I needed...I think a Spahn or something.
I did get a nice collect for $1000 out of a nieghboring community which included most of a 1967 set in pretty nice conidion (Seaver, Brooks, Carew included ... Seaver came back a PSA 5 and a set of 1971s (mid grade) that I came out well on, though not great on.

I actually had a nice find 4 years ago and posted about it on the forum.
