Looking through Craigslist for a particular item is like shopping for hookers… there’s a lot of scary, weird, scuzzy choices but once in a while you find Julia Roberts.

As I mentioned a ways back, CostCo has replaced the wire shelving I normally buy with, what is to me, an inferior replacement. Specifically, my main criticism is the lack of reinforcing rib running the along the center length of the shelf. The shelves I have can get loaded down with some heavy goods pretty quickly…I don’t want substandard shelving.

So, I trotted over to Craigslist and found someone selling four of the shelves (not a complete unit, just the shelves) for twenty bucks. And they had the reinforcing rib. And they were willing to deliver! (I had them drop it at a neighbors place a few doors down from me…y’know…PerSec). Score!

So for $20 I got enough shelves to allow me to use the S-hooks and a couple leftover uprights to add another column to my existing run of shelving. Go me!

Moral of the story: sometimes you can find exactly what you’re looking for on Craigslist.

And, just for the sake of consistency, I shall continue to flog the 10/22 mag deal until someone cleans me out on these things.
