Anyone ever seek out plumber on Craigslist

[Robert Shelton]

Just got a $11,000 estimate from plumbing company we have used previously (full renovation).  I am pretty sure I would rather quit my full time job (not really) and learn to be a plumber before I agree to this estimate.  So I just posted on Craigslist for a qualified plumber myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/trd/d/need-licensed-plumber/6499505083.html

Really no point to this post other than to ask...have any of my brethren attempted this approach to finding new contractors?  How would you have written my post differently?  I am not local to these particular projects so I have been relying on recommended contractors but I am not happy with this specific trade as it has been a larger % of my operation then I ever estimate for.  

Thoughts???
