I gotta tell you this site is kick a**.. I have sold a ton of stuff in the last week and I bought a huge comfy couch & over sized chair for my guest house for $100!!! The best part is there is no charge for buying or selling.

How does it work? They just make money on advertising?

JHC - You know I have no idea on how it works.. I was asking the lady I bought the couch set from the same thing. I sold a tractor, trailer, mower, roller and a ton of stuff out of my garage and it cost me nothing. If I used the old local classified paper it would have been a couple hundred dollars to list that stuff.

I put a personal ad on Craig's List.

I was E-solicited by a gay man.

Never again will I put a personal ad on Craig's List.

Sold lots of stuff. Good service.

Yeah, how do they make money?

They do charge for some of the ads, like employment and real estate.

It's a great site.

Just picked up my Baby changing station near NJ from that site. My wife loves it.

Never again.

The last hooker, er, escort I ordered had an unusually large adams apple...

They charge for real estate and job postings in the larger metropolitan cities, and all persons posting personal ads are charged $5 as well.... umm... I mean.... that's what I was told.

Anyways, we just sold our utility trailer on there. And some catering stuff. And some fishing stuff. Haven't bought anything yet, but before I ever list anything on that big auction site again, I'll try CL first.

Eric and I are always on this site..We got our push mower on there a few weeks ago. It's a great site!

I heard that is where Eric got Jessica.

Did you pay $150 for it because if you did it was mine and it was nice to meet you..

LOL

Actually no, we paid $40 for it! The guy said it wouldn't stay running, but when Eric checked it, all it needed was gas!!! LOL So we got a semi new Murray mulchin mower for cheap!

And no, he did not get me from Craig's List!!!!

I haven't used it. While I've had the urge to kill a few people, I just haven't had the time to put together a really clever plan.

Pac, you are horrible!

"I just haven’t had the time to put together a really clever plan. "

Apparently neither did the last guy that tried.

So it worked.

re#17 LMAO!

I have used craigslist extensively the past few years and HAVE NOT FAILED to sell anything I have attempted to sell. Some things took a little longer, cause once the local market reads the same ad for weeks at a time, they tend to skip over it.

There's usually someone out there looking for what you have to sell. It's free, but you have to be careful.

I never post my phone number any more. I did once and ended up getting auto-spammed by some chick asking if I would like to be able to accept credit cards. Ya, I just have to give them my bank account number and personal log on. They can make it happen. F*** you.

No more phone numbers. I screen all possible buyers with email. I set up a demo/look see and we meet and make the deal. I offered an air conditioner for sale and gaged the selling price by how many email responses I got. I asked $175 for it, got only a few emails. No one really serious. Just a couple inquiries. I dropped it by $25 and got about 50 responses. Quickly sold it.

Great site.
