I do a lot of selling on Craigslist. I set the price, yet I know the minimum I am willing to accept. I even have a template saved on my computer that I just copy/paste to post bikes quickly. To date, I haven't taken my product to meet with a potential buyer. I only offer it for them to see at my work. With the ability to do national Craiglist searches, I've sold items to Georgia and twice to California. I had high dollar Shimano spd's go to San Fran today as a Craigslist sale.

If I have a friend's bike product, then I'll list it on two additional bike sites. My last resort is eBay due to their higher fees of late. By the time you get hit with both eBay and PayPal fees, you can take a hit.

Whether you choose Craigslist, local sales, or eBay, please watch out for spammers. I had two different items off of Craigslist this week where they would pay with a "certified check" then have their "mover" pick up the product. My reply to them was "cash or paypal", and I haven't heard back yet.
