Craigslist.org, website for everything

From New York to Rio de Janeiro, from Cape Town to Rome, and from Istanbul to Sydney... Craigslist is the best thing that happened to the internet, commerce, communication and yes!... to people.
Craigslist is a website that's broken down into several categories of ads and posts. Here you can barter your silver Ipod for teeth whitening (for example), you can find a job, discuss the latest Jay Leno jokes or accomplish the monumental task of finding the love of your life in the "personals" area.
Craigslist.org accepts no banner advertising. It posts no pop-up ads, requires no visitor registration and charges no fees, except to employers posting job offers. All in all, it is as useful as it is entertaining, and most importantly, it is spreading slowly but surely all around the world, now being present in all continents. Although Bucharest hasn't YET jumped on the bandwagon, you can tap into CL (short for Craigslist) in Milan, Prague, London, or Osaka, if you're the adventurous type. Fact is stranger than fiction, so look for whatever and you will probably find it on Craigslist.
Here's a sample:
Install my toaster oven, win my heart - 31

Quick background - I live in a very small house with a tiny kitchen and because of that, counter space is precious. So, when I purchased my toaster oven, rather than buying the cheapest model available, I stepped it up a notch and got one for $10 more which had the glorious ability to be mounted under a cabinet. I likewise bought the fancy bracket required to attach it. (Oh, how hopeful and naive I was back then!)
More than a year later the toaster oven remains stubbornly sitting on my countertop, hogging much-needed space. I've tried to install it, my brother has tried to install it, friends have tried to install it, and my ex-boyfriend has tried to install it, all to no avail. There it remains, firmly planted on the counter, defying its true airborne nature.
It finally occurred to me that I was looking at this situation all wrong. Maybe it isn't about the screws or the brackets or drilling the holes in the right places. Maybe the toaster oven is trying to tell me something. All of a sudden I saw it from a mythical perspective. Like King Arthur wrenching the sword from the stone, like Cinderella fitting the glass slipper, like Will Parry wielding the subtle knife, perhaps my toaster oven can ONLY be installed by the man meant for me.
If you think you might be that man, please write.
