I have sold a desk and a dresser by Craig's list. My DD sold her pickup within an hour on CL and then again sold a couch and a dining room table and chairs. Each time all went well. Must admit I was rather nervous -and my goal was to get rid of the desk and dresser without having to pay someone to remove them.
Do ask for cash only and show it only with other people are home. Have you thought about selling on consignment at a quilt shop?
