Possible Paper Deals In You Area

I just went on my local Craigslist and I am picking up 8 cases of letter sized paper for $120.00.....that is $1.50 per ream. As it turns out I am going to be driving right past his house on my way to a reverse mortgage "signing" tomorow.

I'm also picking up 25 reams of legal paper for $60.00....that is $2.40 per ream. Gosh I love Craigslist. I wonder if I can find some ink on there too?

Pegi, what phrase or word do you use to search for these great paper deals on Craigslist?

I searched paper ream and all kinds of good stuff came up. Suprisingly enough there was a lot of legal paper on there and the people said they can't give it away.....no body wants legal anymore.....only us mortgage industry professionals where it seems like almost everything is printed on legal.

I have only one closing tomorrow and then I am going to go to three different places and pick up an entire car load of paper. I am going to be getting 75 reams of letter from one young man for $100.00 ($1.33 per ream), 25 reams of legal from another guy for $60.00 ($2.40 per ream), and six reams of legal from another for $9.00 ($1.50 per ream).

I love Craigslist.

If I were you, I'd play the lottery tomorrow, too, PegiT. It's obviously your lucky day!

I found a few in my area, but

the prices were similiar to those on sale or the use of a coupon for the standard price. It was not worth it.

Re: Oops, 50 (FIFTY) AVAILABLE

I just bought fifty reams from this couple. They have fifty more, but I certainly don't need that much, plus I have no where to store it. I hope that it is okay because it has been in storage for a while but it has not been wet. He told me to call if there was any problems. It is Xerox paper so it should be fine.
