If any of you need a quick way to get money, craigslist is the way to go. This summer I went on a craigslist binge and sold a bunch of old ski gear and it sort of got addicting. The ability to set a price for any item can be really fun. I had some old ski boots that my brother gave me and sold them for over 100 dollars. There have been cases where people trade items and end up with stuff much more valuable than when they started. An extreme case that I heard a while back was a guy who started out with a cell phone and ended up with a porsche. Be careful tho, people sell stuff all the time that is stolen and you could end up in some trouble. Some helpful tips that I have developed over the years are as follows.
- Never use your personal information
- Its ok to use your cell phone #, but spell out some of the numbers so computer software cannot retrieve it.
- Make the posts simple and alter it a few times a week so it stays in the current posts
- Have a friend present if you feel uncomfortable about the situation or person when making a sale.
- ALWAYS post a higher price than what you want to sell it for, people usually come to the door with less money than the post.
- Don't provide to much information about the product, it will deter people
- ALWAYS use pictures
Super easy to way to make quick money for the weekends. Go out and have some fun
