About four days ago I decided I wanted to get rid of a couple of things that I no longer use or no longer need, one of my computers, acoustic guitar, and some Magic the Gathering trading cards. Some of these things I have not used in nearly 10 years and about time to get rid of them. I posted all these items on Craigslist, and got some immediate responses for all three items. A couple of minutes after I posted my guitar for sale someone had responded and wanted to take a look at it. So I drove down to his job and showed it off to him. After about 20 minutes of the guy staring at it and touching it and what not he tells me that he doesn’t want it because its made in China. Thankfully he gave me a $5 bill for my troubles and gas and I drove off. Today I managed to get the guitar sold and the Magic the Gathering cards sold as well. The guitar was a pretty fast transaction, the guy that wanted it had sent his wife over and she just picked it up, gave me the money and left, it was a transaction of less than 3 minutes. On the other hand the guy that wanted the magic cards took some time checking every single card to see if there were any rare cards or what not. This guy took nearly an hour just sorting through them, to finally offer me $15 for the shoe box full of them. I took the money and he finally took off.
Craigslist has proven to be a little better than eBay mainly because I don’t have to worry about paypal transactions, and the hassle of going to the post office and waiting in line for about an hour or so to ship and item. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that you still get those scammer e-mails of people wanting you to send your computer to some weird country if they pay you and extra $100 and what not. I simply put in big bold letters LOCAL PICK UP ONLY.
