Just recently I bought an almost new set of tires for my Honda off of Craigslist for 100 bucks. Brand new factory tires that someone had taken off and replaced with some "sporty" wheels. Saved myself at least 300 dollars. We've bought, sold, and given away tons of stuff on Freecycle and Craigslist over the years, and I get a lot of great deals on Ebay as well. Smart shopping.
