Rare Opportunity???

In my local Craigslist, I can pick it up if someone wants it...

If someone can explain a legitimate use for Craigslist, I’ll listen.

 

I have bought two TV's and a Roku on Craigslist...and a couple of Peace dollars from a kind of sketchy guy...

 

To buy and sell items on a more personal level. A few years ago I wanted to get NY Rangers tickets for my son's birthday. The prices on Stub Hub & Ticket Master were very high so I was able to buy them from someone On Craig's List for a slight premium over face. I also bought some used Taylor Made golf clubs from that site which cost me less than other sites I looked at. Both time I had to pick them up from the seller. I thought about using the site if I ever decide to sell some of my coins. Before I do I'll check out their sellers fees and hope it's not as bad as eBay.
Both times it was a cash transaction so no PayPal fees.

 

That's as bad as ETSY.

 

Did anyone else try to open the second picture?..
I tried a few times until I realized.. its a screen shot of the craiglist ad and not an actual link to 2 pictures! ugh.

 

Craig is laughing all the way to the bank.

 

I have sold at least a 5 figure sum of items on Craigslist, after advertising on a site as CoinTalk, etc.. I've purchased numerous vehicles/implements there.

I was once a dedicated eBay, and numerous other sites seller/buyer, but the communications between partners became so horrendous, I decided Craigslist was the least encumbering.

I've driven from North to South, East to West buying awesome vehicles, and meeting very talented individuals.

It's a site often used by very intelligent/creative individuals, whom I've appreciatively met.

There are certain precautions required, just as this site.

Once a reputation of honesty/trustworthiness is established as a seller/buyer, returns of dealings are established by word of mouth, and frequent. I still get occasional calls from long past buying individuals looking for unique or competitively priced items.

Dependent upon usage, there can be minimal/no fees.

I list rental properties there. It works well. When people leave stuff when they move, I list it as free and people come and haul it away.

 

Exactly. I get most of my renters from CL.

 

I have a friend that sells stuff all the time. He puts it in the driveway and lets people come by and look at it. Quick way to get rid of stuff.
I think that trying to sell coins on CL is stupid.

 

We got one of our dogs off Craigslist. I also got a discontinued Star Wars Lego set so there are 2 reasons. That's about it though

 

Conduct your coin, jewelry, etc. transactions at a police station when using CL. If the buyer refuses, you know something is not right.

 

So, what makes this 1943 worth $25,000?

 

Used Craigslist twice. Once to sell a used car, once to sell a RV.
Both times worked well and didn't cost a cent.

 

What a joke.

 

Good for bulky items that you don't want to toss but can't ship.

What better solution do you have, for listing/selling coins free, when using craigslist in conjunction with eBid, delivering throughout the country, from your home with shown "feedback"?

I believe there are many "stupid" individuals who have found a "better way".

Only thing I like about that CL ad is that it's in Oxnard. I have fond memories of spending time in Oxnard many years ago.

In regards to CL, I've only use it once and I wasn't that impressed. It's free (or at least it was back when I used it). But I had too many knuckleheads responding. I've bought & sold on ebay since 2004 to current.
