Moving out forces you to take stock of all your belongings and ask you that important question:

Is this really worth moving?

I’ve had an Orbitrek elliptical machine for a while and it’s been a pretty good home cardio machine. Since I’ve started mountain biking, I haven’t used it all that much since the 2 hour rides are plenty of cardio. So it went into the “No Move” pile of things in the house.

It’s a pretty large piece (3 ft wide x 5 ft high x 4 long ) or so, so shipping it after an ebay sale would probably not make a lot of sense. Instead, I listed it on craigslist locally. I put up a nice pic and some Grade B marketing copy and waited patiently. In about 2 weeks, it sold. I put a little money in my pocket, the buyer gets a good cardio machine for a great price, and it’s one less thing I have to move. Sweet.

I’ve listed some throw pillows for sale too and plan to get some paintings up there this week. No fees for listing on Craigslist and you get it up there for 45 days. Not bad at all. Craigslist, i love you
