Selling on Craigslist - was Re: A few parts

[John Soliday]

I've sold a lot of vehicles and "stuff" on Craig's List and ebay both.
There ARE a lot of flakes and scammers out there but once you detect them
and ignore them both venues work for me.  Let's see vehicles sold on Craig's
List are....

75 Honda 750F
78 Honda 750F
88 Kawasaki ZX10
72 Norton Dunstall Commando
03 Honda CBR600RR

...those were sold either in San Jose, CA or Boulder, CO but all of them
sold in less than a month.  You have to price right and put decent pics and
descriptions in and you usually find a buyer quickly.

Your mileage may vary however,

John

I've sold a pickup truck and a car on Craig's list. The truck sold in a
couple weeks, but the car took several months.

My experience was that selling a motorcycle on craigslist is not an easy
thing but I did not get any scammers. I sold a nearly brand new Yamaha TT125
but it took a few months. The scams from my EBay posting was ridiculous and
numerous with the worst being I'll give you $500 for it even tho the
dirtbike was listed at $1700 if you deliver it to me @ 200 miles away. I
e-mailed and asked if that was $500 down and balance due on delivery and his
reply was "are you trying to be funny?"
I did get $1700 from a craigslist ad which I thought was a fair price but
have listed numerous items and have yet to sell a thing on Craigslist ,
other than the dirtbike.
