Have you ever used Craigslist to sell stuff?

[Blue_Roses]

If so, how was it?

[dropkickpa]

1. Oh yeah

Lots of times! Easy breezy. I screen who I sell to, and if they seem shady on the phone I tell them I have someone lined up ahead of them but I'll give them a call if that falls through. I've never had a problem, and have met some pretty cool people.

2. Yes.

It worked out ok sometimes, other times I couldn't answer my phone for a few weeks. Oh wait. I never answer my phone.

4. We found renters for our condo using it

I was amazed at the response, quite frankly. It worked great! :hi:

5. Worked great, but don't ask me about the date I had from there...

I sold my stuff just fine, material goods that is, but when it came to meeting up with someone from there.....
Well, let's just say he claimed to be a genetic experiment and everything went down from that point on.

7. I sell my body on there, does that count? n/t

[cutlassmama]

8. Yes

[Roon]

9. yes

My ex and I lived off of selling stuff on craigslist for a couple of months. It works great!

[MrCoffee]

10. lots of times, and i'll never sell my own stuff any other way

we've sold stuff, bought stuff, rented an apartment and a house, and given away free trash on craigslist, and it's been easy and 99.9% hassle-free.

highly recommended.

11. Yes, it's great!

[underpants]

12. Yeah I sold a truck on it

AND I ended up getting a GREAT deal on my "new" car basically through craigslist.

I would highly recommend it

13. How do you usually accept payment?

I noticed that they say there are a lot of scams taking people's money through cashier's check or money order.

I have someone wanting to buy my furniture and he says he lives in London but gave a Vermont address. He said he would send a "courier" to deliver the cashier's check and once I received payment he would send the moving company to pick up the furniture...

:wtf:

[LeftyMom]

14. 1. Local 2. Cash 3. They get their stuff when I get their money. No sooner, no later.

Anything else is likely a scam. But honest people will stick to those rules, no problem.

[Blue_Roses]

15. yeah, that's what I thought

I haven't done this before, but I am leary of this one. Thanks.
