Sold on Craigslist for the first time!

I sold an internal frame backpack for $40. It was originally $65. Now I have more space AND more money!
I was amazed that it only took an hour to get a buyer, who came out to get it right away.

congrats. keep in mind that CL sales won't always go that smoothly, but it is still a great way to sell things.

Great job! I've sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff on Craigslist with nary a problem. The only annoyance I've had is a couple people who said they were coming and didn't show up. Other than that, no complaints.

Yeah, the second item I sold--a propane heater--2 buyers offered full price, then backed out. It happens, I guess.

I'm hesitant to post anything, but I've got so much to sell. Maybe I'll try one just to see if it goes as smoothly as your transaction.

My Wife is always amazed at what I sell.
I had a POS lawn tractor.. I had patched it up so many times over its 12 year hard life.. eventually bought a new one.. Wifey was wanting me to load the old one on the truck and take it to the dump.... I put it on CL for $200.
Next day I got 200 bucks and didn't pay to dump it..:)

I've sold lots of stuff on Craigslist without issue.
Like mentioned before, some people are just flakes.
I hate taking the time to list everything but it sure feels good to get rid of the stuff and accept cash for it!
