A yard sale has its shortcomings. What if you don’t have a lot of items, don’t want to sit by your garage all day, or depend on local neighbors as your customers? A good alternative is to make use of Craigslist, which has become a great internet site for buying and selling almost anything legal - furniture, bicycles, musical equipment, housewares, art, and whatever. Over 40 million people use it every month.
Each fair-sized community has its own place on Craigslist, where sellers can post goods (free of charge) for sale. Unlike Ebay, Craigslist only acts to hook you up with the seller; it does not take a role in the transaction. And since most transactions are local, they are done face to face, reducing the chance for fraud or misleading offers. Since the deals are done in person, you get your money immediately, unlike the Ebay process.
Take a look at your community’s Craigslist to get a sense of the going prices for various goods. You may even see items for sale that you never considered turning into cash. With the economic slump, There has been a large boost in Craigslist sellers and scammers, so be persistent and careful. Those who keep reposting their sales items are the ones that make out best.
