Starting a company is tough - especially when there are crooks on craigslist
So we are in the midst of ramping up our real estate company and part of being a start up is keeping overhead as low as possible. We've been buying desks, chairs and various other items off Craigslist. Well, last night we went looking for a MacBook Air that would help us look up properties better on the spot and be easier to carry around than the current 6 year old laptop. What we thought was only going to be a 30 minute transaction turned into a 5 hour affair with flashing blue lights and people going to jail. I guess this is what they call "growing pains".
Everyone stay safe, you never know who you are going to meet on Craigslist or if what they are selling is real. The story is in the link below.
