Better to sell stuff with craigslist or Ebay?

AlwayzRight · Jun 13, 2008

Thoughts...I dont like paying all the fees with ebay but it does have a wider audience.

BettingFoodStamps · Jun 13, 2008

its also safer too, im sure you would get scammed on craigslist unless you stick to pick up only.

Doug · Jun 13, 2008

Depends what it is. Some things can't be shipped ,like a gas grill, so Craigslist that, but if it were a baseball card, then ebay.

Brock Landers · Jun 13, 2008

i've sold almost anything i have ever listed on Craigslist within a day or two..the responce is unreal. Ebay is so saturated with some shit you don't even get a bid. Craigslist all the way, oh and its free there too.

ebay... people are cheap as hell on craigslist

Doug · Jun 13, 2008

It's all what it is. If you are selling a used truck, you want local people, so CL is perfect in your city. You can't ship it cross country.

If you had a $5,000 rare coin CL would suck, but ebay would be great.

very different platforms.

If I give people a deal, than Craigslist. If I don't need money in a hurry, Ebay.

I had two boxes of nice Infiniti speakers that sell for like $70 on Ebay and I know I could have gotten around that much if I waited a week to list em, but I had a date coming up and was running low on funds. Just put em on Craigslist for $40 a box and they sold super fast and the moral of the story is I got in there... all thanks to Craigslist.

that looks like it could be a hobo turlet with the addition of a 5 gallon bucket to catch the droppings ?

I prefer Ebay, much safer.

"Well Jake, this has sure been a nice evening out."

"Thanks honey. I sold my living room on CraigsList so I could pay for it. If you want to see me again, tell me now so I can get my bedroom stuff up on the List for next week."

I like ebay because it seems more organized. Craiglist is all over the place with shit.

Doug · Jun 13, 2008

CL is run by a nice guy, ebay is run by scum.

FairWarning · Jun 14, 2008

As a buyer, I don't even consider CL. EBay does protect the buyer.

GoSooners · Jun 14, 2008

As a seller I like the worldwide bidding wars in Ebay better...Craigslist has the feel of a cheap garage sale in a poor neighborhood.

Doug · Jun 14, 2008

what if you were buying a used car ?

I think CL shines for that.

C.P. · Jun 14, 2008

has anyone else heard that 75 people on CL got caught in a prostitution sting?

Railbird · Jun 15, 2008

CL popular in Calif, I think E bay elsewhere.
