I have sold and purchased loads of stuff on Craigslist - this is what I have found....... Different areas of the country are flat out different (people might not show, ask you to jump through hoops, want you to sell it to them for a fraction of what you want OR it will go smoothly). That being said - it is free and and if you have the right person read your add - you will sell it.

We moved from No VA, where things an craigslist went like hotcakes to New England where you get a lot of no shows etc. My recommendation is post lots of pictures, hide your email and address until you have interest in your item (ie use their craigslist respond to seller), NEVER say it is sold until you have cash in hand (even if someone says they really want it - do not hold it for them - tell them it goes to the first person with either the full price or a non refundable deposit on it). The last recommendation - is always have someone else in the house when someone comes to see it.

You have nothing to lose - good luck with your sale!!
