I bought lots of things from there when my husband and I got married last year, and we needed to furnish an apartment. We only bought a few things new, because we needed very specific things...okay, we're picky. I looked for a kitchen table for probably 6 months, but we ended up getting a new one b/c we never found exactly what we wanted/needed. And we ended up with a table we'll have for a very long time. The only other main thing we bought new was a computer desk. Craigslist and other secondhand sources provided most of the other furniture. :) .-= Nikki (Trexel) Moore´s last blog post ..<a href="http://moorethanfine.blogspot.com/2010/03/everyones-afraid-of-somethingor-several.html" rel="nofollow">everyone's afraid of something...or several things</a> =-.

There's something so special about being able to put a face and a name to who will be the caretaker of my old possessions. I'm on a huge decluttering kick right now; however, I also really like the idea of being the caretaker of somebody else's unneeded items next time I'm in the market for something. So much more character than just buying it brand new and off the shelf. Your blog is terrific! So glad I stumbled upon it :-) I love giving stuff away on Craigslist!

Half of our furniture is from there (the other half from Goodwill), and we've also had great luck selling things.

Just describe it accurately, so people know what to expect when they drive over to see it. That's one nice thing about Craigslist: people get to check something out in person before buying it. Baby stuff tends to sell easily on Craigslist since it's something people are searching for. Abbie, I don’t think there’s a quality threshold.

I actually have a growing pile of baby items that I need to get rid of. I have never used Craig's List to sell anything. Only for listing rental properties. Is there a "quality" threashold for items you list on Craig's List? If I want to get rid of something fast that is moderatly-to-well used I use Freecycle. (It goes within a matter of minutes.) But I feel the quality of the items on Freecycle is generally = well used, but still useable. Do CL buyers expect a higher level of quality? Thanks for the great post.
