Sat, July 18
T-minus 6 days
I had never used Craigslist to sell anything before, but I did buy my motorcycle through it. To me there were always too many postings of people selling say a couch for it to seem useful. With a city as large as Los Angeles I thought any post would quickly get moved down by newer ones and it would ultimately be pointless.
Boy was I wrong. I started posting early this morning and within 15 minutes, before I had finished listing everything, I was getting calls. Within an hour people were coming by to buy stuff. The phone never stopped ringing and within 6 hours nearly everything was sold.
As a comparison I had my big items (bed, couch etc) listed in the paper for a week and heard almost nothing. Within 4 hours on Craigslist I had multiple people wanting to buy my size 12 SCUBA gear.
In the flurry of calls today I also got one from the consignment lot. My car sold today too, for 2 grand more than I was offered originally.
