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. Much easier than a yardsale! <abbr><em><em>Chandra´s last blog post..<a href="http://wishandwonder.blogspot.com/2009/05/garden-party.html" rel="nofollow">Garden Party</a></em></abbr></em> Craigslist has been great for me!

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.

It is a maple desk and I paid $20... The seller couldn't have been nicer and seemed delighted that it was sold.
