In the past few years, I have sold and purchased a number of items from Craigslist, and I've certainly learned a thing or two. When used appropriately, Craigslist (or any other online marketplace for that matter) can be a wonderful source for unloading unused items OR finding items at a great discount. At it's worst, it's a breeding ground for scam artists. If you are serious about selling, save yourself from replying to numerous emails about the condition, size etc. Include ALL important details in your listing. I ALWAYS include that the item comes from a non-smoking home, so if this applies to your item I would say so. Before I started doing this, I got this question a lot. This was the listing I used for the sofa and loveseat we sold  after it was listed for 1 day. Dark Gray Sofa & Loveseat in Great Condition $400 Charcoal gray, contemporary sofa and loveseat for sale in great condition. There are no noticeable stains, tears or areas of heavy wear and comes from a clean, non-smoking home.

The 2 back cushions and 2 seat cushions on each piece are removable and have zippered covers for easy cleaning. Sofa measures  84'' long, 30'' deep and the top of the seat cushion measures 17'' from the floor. Loveseat measures 72'' long, 30'' deep and 17'' high. Please let me know if you have further questions or would like to see additional pictures. No one is going to buy a 30 year old, dated, nameless china cabinet for $1000. I have always had the mentality that Craigslist is used to get rid of my unwanted junk. I've never thought of it as a way to make lots of money. Although the extra cash is nice, the primary goal for me when I sell an item to get it out of my home. If you think that you are going to make hundreds or even thousands from selling old crap in your basement, you will be disappointed. If you are looking to sell high-end furniture, I would suggest contacting a local furniture re-sale store or antique dealer. You will get more for your money that way.

As a general rule, if I receive an email 30 seconds after I have posted an item asking if it's still available, I usually don't respond. Unfortunately, scammers are constantly patrolling Craigslist. If anyone responds asking to wire you money for the item, pay you more that the listed price or if their email address is gibberish like ... do NOT respond. Do not even respond with, "I know this is a scam", because then they will have already won. They then have your personal email address and most likely your full name. I also don't bother responding if the email is filled with misspelled basic words, usually a red flag that you are dealing with someone not local and not a serious potential buyer. I always recommend meeting people at a public place, such as a grocery store parking lot or even near a police station. Have someone with you if possible. Do not get into anyone's car.

If the item is too big or you are not able to meet at a public spot and they have to come to your house, move the item out to your garage. Do not allow strangers into your home. Always have someone else there with you. A big dog barking inside is also helpful:) Also, I do not include my name or phone number the listing. Craigslist offers an option to hide your personal email address, which I highly recommend doing.

Used Furniture Store Tracy CaAlso, you should have your bottom-dollar price in mind before you list an item. I have only had a few people negotiate the price surprisingly, but avoid dozens of emails back and forth by sticking to a firm price you are comfortable with.
