This past summer, my family and I were moving. Having furnished a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home, I realized that we had way more than we had ever used and it was time to "clear out" a number of items.
On Friday morming I posted 3 ads for different types of items on Craigslist in Denver. Craiglist makes posting ads very easy and the catagories are sensible. (They also note what is prohibited so you don't have any suprises if your items are removed.) You are allowed 4 digital pics per ad and I took advantage of that benefit as well. Each posting was easy and I was able to complete them quickly and efficiently . All of the ads were posted within minutes of my submission. When a buyer is interested , they simply click on a link with an anonymous address on your post that sends the message directly to your personal email address.I also added my phone number in my post for interested parties.
Within an hour the phone was ringing and the selling process began. As the items sold, I was able to go into my ad and edit or delete sold items, as well I was able to delete and add new pictures. This was especially helpful ,as that allowed for only the items that were available, to be seen.
I was very fortunate that all of the people who called showed up and bought. By Sunday night we were exhausted from the sale, but were extremely successful and were amazed by response and the great people we had met in the process. We actually ended up making friends with one couple who bought some of our appliances!!
The ease of Craigslist was amazing. I would recommend this site highly.And, frankly, for such a great service, you simply cannot beat the price!!! FREE!!
