			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day the question was asked &#8220;Can you sell a bag of Trash on Craigslist&#8221;?  This question interested me</p>
<div id="attachment_57" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-57" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="free" src="http://www.cmiyc.com/files//2009/02/free-300x175.png" alt="Not everything is free" width="300" height="175" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Not everything is free</p></div>
<p>because in Dan Ariely&#8217;s book &#8220;<a title="Predictably Irrational" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.predictablyirrational.com%2F&amp;ei=x-eVSa3xD6CeNbm_sYIM&amp;usg=AFQjCNF1GxkUYY5lCz84V36e7zPBoNht9Q&amp;sig2=5XPVRuZaVuQrRK3bDVYGPw" target="_blank">Predictably Irrational</a>&#8220;, he discussed the behavior people exhibit when something is &#8220;Free.&#8221;  In short, our brains actually react differently when &#8220;Free&#8221; is offered instead of a price.  People quickly forget there are costs associated with anything that is &#8220;Free.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was quickly discovered if you actually post &#8220;I have a bag of trash,&#8221; it gets flagged.  Real Fast.  Not satisfied with the result, I made a post that described a bag of garbage without using those exact words.  The result?  Well, they surprised me.  After just 12 hours, I had to take down the post because I got tired of the emails.</p><em><p><a href="http://www.cmiyc.com/blog/2009/02/13/sell-anything-on-craigslist/">Continue reading: You can sell anything on Craigslist</a></p></em>]]></content:encoded>
