selling stuff on craigslist
Anyone done this? Worth it or a hassle? I've got some maternity/baby stuff I'd like to unload. I've been donating most of it, but some of it is nice and I feel like I could sell it instead. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle or not.
Do you insist on cash? Mail things or hand them over in person? Thanks.
Re: selling stuff on craigslist
If you're willing to mail try ebay instead to get a better price for your stuff.
I use Craigslist for larger items that don't really work on ebay because they won't ship.
Ebay is a more concrete process. Craigslist is full of flakes who will waste your time but it does eventually work.
I have shipped one Craigslist item but only after the cash hit my paypal account.

my read shelf:
I sell larger things on CL all the time and have had great success. I either meet them in a public place or, if the item is too big, have someone else with me at my place when they come. I've never had any problems.
I'd also recommend E-Bay for smaller items that can be put in a pre-paid box and shipped easily. I've used them for years for those things.
Another though is one of those consignment sales or consignment store if it's all baby and maternity stuff.
However... the process of tagging all that stuff nearly killed me so I did that once and then swore never again.
Now I pass down most of my stuff to friends, hold it until garage sale season or take it to Once Upon a Child where I can drop it off in one lump and make it their problem.

I gave most of my clothes to a neighbor, but I have a couple of pairs of size 14 Gap jeans and pants left. I also have a bella band.
My other stuff right now is things like a moby wrap, a peanut shell baby carrier, a boppy, and stuff like that.
pm'ed you back!
