Ebay has a free "Classified" section now. I would try that too.

There are other places to sell your quilts online:
Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/ ;
Quilts for Sale - http://www.quiltsforsale.ca/

if that's any help.

By all means, go to quiltsforsale. I think the prices are too high but, someone will buy them. Sure makes me feel better about my own work. I think all of the methods listed so far just about covers it. Other than maybe advertising in a quilt mag. I cannot think of anything else myself.

I sell my baby quilts. I live on a busy highway and have a sign in my front yard "Baby Quilts for Sale" It goes in streaks, some weeks I will sell three or four and others none. Use to go to craft sales, but that costs money too and they keep going up with there space prices. This way I do not have to content with the outside elements. I have repeat customers so am very satisfied with my results.

I have tried ebay, but the results were less than thrilling. People are so accustomed to walking into Walmart and buying cheap quilts with matching pillow shams and skirts which were made in another country ~ which will also wear out in the washing machine in no time ~ they don't want to pay more for a hand-quilted or machine-quilted one from right here at home. Those of us who make them for the sheer joy of sewing or creating something cannot hope to make much profit from them. I have tried craft shows and consignment shops also, but it does not seem worth the effort. I just make them and save them to give as gifts.

I sold one on Craigslist, but be careful. Never have strangers come to your home, and never meet someone alone. Always use the buddy system, like in swimming.
