My best use has been to set up email notifications for various "slow shopping" tasks on Craigslist and eBay. This is super handy when looking for semi-rare or infrequently posted items (e.g. specific out-of-print books), or great deals on items where the seller has priced to move (e.g. email me about craigslist leather couches selling for under $200, dell ultrasharp monitors under $100, etc). If you're not in a hurry to buy stuff, it's a great way to save money.

Yes! This strategy netted me my Aeron chair for 200$

It also proved to me that the following is true about purchasing a used Aeron chair in San Diego:

    limit   -  expected ETA
    > 500$  -  1-2 days
    400-500 -  1-1.5 weeks
    300-400 -  2-4 weeks
    < 300   -  1-2 years
