New Feature: Seattle Market
It has come to this. Today Seattlest will decend into the time-tested and approved depths of pointing and laughing at Craigslist posts. Welcome to the latest Seattlest feature where we click through thousands and thousands of Craigslist for-sale items and highlight a few incredible buys for you. These will be items that no Seattleite can pass on, so be prepared to act quickly and contact the sellers as soon as possible.
Tibetan Brass Bell and Striker - $30
This lovely authentic bell has beautiful sound and looks wonderful on display. Was $79 when I bought it. It is in perfect condition.
A Seattle house is simply not a home until it is literally crammed full of worldly and exotic knick-knacks, and nothing will impress your backpacking friends more than an authentic Tibetan bell. Watch your cultural cred go through the roof as visitors to your home start whispering to each other about your authentic life before they even get back to their cars. This item works best when displayed with authentic prayer flags and maybe a photo of you with a desolate backdrop. The more imposing the arrangement the less likely you are to have to explain that you actually found it on the internet and bought it from some woman in Federal Way.
Fresh Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon Lox - $8-10/lbMy friend and I just returned from Alaska with an overstock of Smoked Salmon. We are trying to sell it as quick as possible so we're selling it at $8-10 per pound, less than wholesale price.
We know we may have rang the "Salmon is so 2000" bell a few days ago, but we also know it will take some time to ween yourself off of it, and how better to do that than with this generous offer of gray market smoked fish?
ASOLO, HIKING BOOTS, Mens size 10 - $45
Asolo Sport, Yukon, Hiking Boots, Mens size 10, Brown in color, in excellent shape I want $45.00 for these Asolo Hiking Boots
It's a strong indication that times are tight when items like this show up on Craigslist. The belt has already been tightened, or perhaps sold, and it's time for the shoes to go as well. The only guy in Seattle hurting more than the one selling these hiking shoes is the guy who buys them. Actually, they don't seem like they've seen too many trails and Seattlest isn't made of money...
