Been there, done that. I've paid my dues :D. I've sold 2/3 of the lots I've posted on CT, and all have been profitable although some have taken forever to sell. I wouldn't post them at all if they weren't profitable, I'd keep rearranging and rewriting them on CraigsList, which gets me 5%-10% more (no postage to pay) as well as the possibility of finding a repeat (local) buyer.[/QUOTE]
