12 Steps to Furnishing Your Office for Free on Craigslist
Entrepreneurship is at an all-time high, thanks to lay-offs and under-employment across the country. Many people tired of hunting for a job have decided it’s easier to start their own business than find a job. The Small Business Administration counted 26.8 million small business in the U.S. in 2006 and that figure continues to rise.
Many of these businesses are started on a shoestring, often from home offices. Often, office furniture and gear doesn’t figure into start-up costs, so why not furnish your office for free or nearly free?
Shopping Craigslist requires some skill, and time so Mr. Freestuff has created a step-by-step lesson to help furnish your new office.

2. Click on your state and select the city or region closest to you. Many smaller cities now have their own sites.
3. You don’t need a user ID to read and reply to ads but will need an ID if you decide to place a “Wanted” ad.
