Overall pretty well. I sold items that I felt were absolute JUNK on there.

Well, I did everything, DH did nothing.. if it was a female coming over to see something I didn't care.. if it was male, I would prefer DH to be home.. but really, these people just want the furniture.

I turned my mom on to it as well- as she has sold a couple of things as well.. even sold her car!

Hell... if they were willing to come to my home to take away large items of absolute garbage.... I was all for it. Chat Icon Better them move it than me.... thats what I say. Chat Icon

Craigslist is the best place to sell furniture.

I got rid of stuff (not sold it) on Craigslist. I would bring it in to work & meet them somewhere.

We did sell a ton of stuff from my grandmother's house. My parents met them at the house - but then again my grandmother wasn't living there anymore.

Re: Who has sold stuff on Craig's list?

I have bought a lot of furniture on Craig's List and I have sold a lot from it as well.

All painless and very easy. Met nice people and we have also rented our PA house via Craigs List as well.

I sold tickets that DH met someone on the street to exchange.

I also sold an exercise bike that someone came to my place to pick up.

Re: Who has sold stuff on Craig's list?

I actually had a bad experience on here 2 weeks ago. I was selling the new tmobile MDA phone. Unfortunately, I was scammed into mailing the phone to another location and in return the lady whom seemed to me so trustworthy sent me really good (bogus) money orders so I lost out. I've contacted craigslist about it and they have not agreement to help out in any sort of way. I've also contacted yahoo to advice them someone is using email address with them to scam people.

So good luck! I doubt I'll be doing business on there any longer. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Who has sold stuff on Craig's list?

We did. It was great - got rid of an ugly eyesore in 3 days for twice what we asked.Chat Icon

ETA - DH did it himself - and it was a big old nautilus set and free weights, so the guy came and picked it up.

Craigs List gives an option to anonymize your email address- but once you return the email-- I think it shows up as your own.

I just have to say again-- i LOVE Craig's List-- I also got my new job through a recruiter that saw my resume on there..

Re: Who has sold stuff on Craig's list?

my sister had season tickets to the Yankees last year. she couldn't make all the games so she sold them on Craigslist, she made out very well.

a co-worker of mine sold her 37" TV (the old style that weighs 500 pounds) and some college kid from Hofstra went to her house to pick it up.

I've only heard good things.

Re: Who has sold stuff on Craig's list?

I sold 2 cars, a refrigerator, a motorcycle and ... I think that's it. I bought a time share. Everything went great, people showed up with cash, and I kept my big black dog in view!!
