I'm feeling dejected/rejected....

I put stuff up on Craigslist and haven't received any responses. I guess noone wants my sh$t.  Crying

Ha ha! Big Smile

In need figure out how low I am willing to go in price, should I donate it to my church garage sale next weekend, or put it away for a while and try posting it again. I already have it for great prices, I really don't want ot go too much lower.

Re: I'm feeling dejected/rejected....

  • I've never had luck selling anything on Craigslist.  FreeCycle and I seem to do much better.  CL didn't have a Holland listing for the longest time so it was hard to sell anything unless I wanted to drive to meet people.

    Anymore, I tend to just donate to Salvation Army or Goodwill and take the tax credit.  That way I get a little something out of it, but others will benefit too.

  • Graco car seat w/base - $30

    extra base - $15

    10 avent bottles -$10

    Avent sterilizer - $8

    Halloween Costume $20

    Bike trailer/double stroller $30 - this one is going to be a hard sale since it is fall and it has a hard shell so it doesnt' fold up. Bascially you would need a truck to pick it up.

    I thought these prices were pretty fair and reasonable.

    I have had mixed luck. I either get 5 responses in five minutes or the crickets are chipping when I post.

     I was hoping to sell a few things as we are taking a annv trip next Feb. I always like to save up CL money and other change here and there.  It usually helps with the spending money.

    Maybe it's not the price but the items themselves. Buying a used car seat isn't recommended because apparently if the vehicle has been in an accident the carseat will not work right/be as safe.  And people might not be used bottles/sterilizer b/c of the unknown germ factor/not knowing if the sterilizer will work right.

    Hopefully you have luck with the bike trailer/double stroller though!

  • I would never buy a used car seat, but I know some people do.

    I think with bottles most people will buy new nipples. The Avent bottles actually do pretty well on ebay, I just don't have an ebay account and I don't want to mess with shipping.

    If I don't sell them and the car seat, I will put it in storage for a little longer. I'm kind of afraid that if I sell them, I will be jinking myself anyways. :)

  • Whoo hooo! I have some interested in the bottles and sterilizer. Hopefuly the sale goes through. I had two sales fall through for the halloween costume last week.
  • I think we're doing our garage sale early next month (finally).  Want to bring some stuff over?

  • I was going to respond to your post about the bike trailer: the H bought me one for Mother's Day and we seriously got rid of the box like 2 weeks ago. I would have returned the new one and took yours! :o

    I'm buying your bunting. That takes up a lot of room. Duh.

  • Haven't done much with Craig's List too much but nothing irritates me more than when there is a lack of a response.  Ugghh!  What can you do?  I guess a pet peeve of mine.
