When I’m browsing through Craigslist, I’m not looking for a new roommate or a new job. I’m looking for a hummer. Unfortunately for me, Craigslist has reached an agreement with 40 state AGs and has decided to tame its infamous “erotic services” listings. Sucks to be the guy looking for “quality” prostitutes online.

When the Attorney General of Connecticut sent a letter to Craigslist demanding that it purge its site of illegal activity, CEO of Craigslist, Jim Buckmaster, agreed. So, what’s Craigslist going to do to keep the hookers out? Craigslist is now asking that advertisers provide valid identification. Erotic services vendors will be charged a small fee for each ad and will be required to use a credit card for the payment. As we all know, hookers have no credit. Problem solved.

Now that WWDC is over and a $199 8GB iPhone 3G has been announced for July 11th, are people ready to sell their first-generation iPhones on the cheap? Not yet it seems. We scoped out popular sites like eBay, Craigslist (NYC) and Google Shopping to see if anyone was ready to let their iPhone go for under $200.

Naturally, we don’t expect an exodus of old phones until after July 11th, but here’s what we found so far:

Sorry guys. Looks like the best deal out there is around $200. Might as well keep waiting.
