If you want to sell items quickly on Craigslist then you're going to have to go about it the right way. This means everything must go as planned. Just recently I sold a lot of music equipment on Craigslist with the quickness! Not months, not weeks but within days, and in some cases for more than the prices I was asking for. If you follow these steps to selling on Craigslist, you're guaranteed to prosper and get a pocket full of money!

Price: The price is the most crucial area to pay attention to, literally PAY attention. How you set you're price depends on the amount of responses you will receive. If you start off with a high price and the item you're selling isn't brand new, it's more than likely that you won't get the price you're asking for. Treat others how you'd wanna be treated and set the starting price fair. I will get to "Up'n the Price" later in this brief description. Look online for the estimated price of the item you're trying to sell whether it is brand new or used, then set you're price accordingly from there.

Picture: This is another essential part of getting you're items sold extra quick on Craigslist. Most post on Craigslist that don't have a photo, are usually left up there for along time un-responded to. Take it like this; people want to see what their paying for, especially if it's not new. So know that if you attach a photo to your post, you have a 90% better chance of selling the item or drawing lots of attention to it.

I have been using Craigslist more myself lately because Ebay keeps jacking up their fees making it next to impossible to make a profit. Good write-up :D
