[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 2403091, member: 52145"] It can be a pain sometimes with craigslist. You may get 5-6 replies to an ad and maybe one person will come look at what you have and then lowball you. But eventually we sell most things. It's free advertising and it does take some time. It does get easier if you have good deals and word gets around. we have some people who have bought several of our refurbished furniture pieces. now we email previous buyers and give them first dibs and that works out pretty good. amazon is the easiest place to sell on. we sell books . amazon does all the work. they email us when we sell one and give the buyers name and address and we ship. they get 15% of sales price. not bad when we pick up books at thrifts and garage sales and sell for 50 dollars or more. when we started we only sold books for 5 bucks or less but that was too much work. by trial and error we started finding out what was collectible and just concentrate on those. We only have about 200 for sale and sell one or two a month. Our last sale was fro $169 . it was a rare hardcover book about Alice Cooper. We tried ebay but that did not go as well. made money but after tallying up all the hours , we did not even make minimum wage, ha. just saying. if you have a fun hobby , you can try to make some part time money at it. even if you don't make any moola , at least you are still having fun. it's better than having a second or third boss.
