Many people use www.craigslist.org to buy and sell goods. It is the perfect marketplace to sell items that might cost to much to ship. If you are willing to have people come by the house and pick up an item or can meet somewhere public, then this site is for you. When you look through the ad’s there are all types of listing you might even find stuff for free. This week I sold by old bike and the guy picked it up no hassle. The craiglist page is set by the city or country that you want to find goods. If you were in New York city then just click on that city you will only see ad’s for items in this location.

This is also a good feature I recently found an item for free in another city that I visit often and then sold it on my local site. You may ask how does craislist make money, well they charge for certain business listings like job post and small business oppurtunitues. The rest of the ad’s are 100% free. Those who have never been to craigslist find the layout very odd it looks like a web site from 1995, but the ease of use and the stuff you can do make up for the bad design. One other use for craigslist is for those who need to outsource a job, you can place an add in the local area and sometimes get great rates for the type of work you need done. In order to sell on craigs list you do not need to sign up, you just post your add and then confirm an email message to verify that you did request the listing. Try looking around it’s a great site.
