Hey Karlil, thanks for posting! Everybody has the courage. Sometimes it’s just hiding. I’ve had a lot of good examples to follow. :)

Kathryn, thank you for clarifying how Western Union can be used legitimately! Glad to hear you were able to scale the mountain of debt.

Hi Gail,

Thanks for your comments! I’m glad the article could help inspire you to declutter (and make some extra cash).

Yes, Western Union is used for legitimate purposes. Back when I was digging out from a mountain of credit card debt by using a credit counseling agency, there were many months when I forgot to send my payment check on time (one of the reasons I ended up with the mountain). Then I went to the store with cash or my debit card and sent the money by Western Union so I knew it would be there on time. Whatever fraud the company unintentionally facilitates, it serves well many people who really need it, and I’m grateful they were there when I needed them.

Hi Karol, I like the site and I like this post! I know a little about craigslist but I haven’t dealt with them much. I have been very much in the decluttering frame of mind today, and was also just on ZH, where Leo is talking about living simply. I am ready to sell it all!!! I might not be tomorrow but for now, unloading some junk is sounding better and better. I was only thinking in terms of getting rid of some things, not actually making money from them. I am newly inspired!

Take care,
Gail

Thanks for commenting Ken! I’d like to hear stories about people actually using Western Union for any legitimate purposes. :) Are there any out there?

Great tips to sell on craigslist.
Western union is definitely a no-no, I’ve personally heard some horror stories.
I’ve found jobs on craigslist, but yet to sell anything.
Thanks Karol
