8 Crazy Ways To Spend Your Stimulus Check, As Suggested By Craigslist Sellers

Craigslist, the online message board site that is a one-stop go-to site for basically anything. Movie tickets to the Sex and the City (TWC) premiere? A new apartment? A wizard's cloak? All there. It therefore comes as no surprise that the sellers on Craigslist also have a few suggestions for how to spend your stimulus check.

Payment schedules for the Bush administration’s $168 billion economic stimulus package for those filing 2007 tax returns have already been determined by the Internal Revenue Service and have been based on the last two digits of the filer’s Social Security number. The first checks began rolling out April 28.

Whether or not you’ve gotten your check already, here are a few opportunities for you to spend your government rebate:
