Same here, I bought one of those Cnet best plasmas blind. Had it delivered and over time hated the pic. Unloaded a 2k plus set for 450. It was a dim set. Never go by cnet review, I have a low rated plasma from 2010 I enjoy much more.
And on Cl nothing sells unless its totally bargin basement.
I had a microwave that was too big for my new kitchen and couldn't sell it even though it was a top of the line type. I offered it to a street person who was dumpster diving in my blue box and he laughed at me saying he has lots of microwaves but was interested in a flat screen TV. BBB shakes his head WTF?
Appliances and Electronics are just becoming a disposable items unless you can find a buyer who actually needs what you have to sell.
Craigslist buyers coming to my house creeped me out too. It was like they were taking stock of what else you have inside. They never got past my front door but were sure looking over my shoulder.

This is the bottom line. People only go for it if it really is an extremely good deal. And about 50% of those who contact you will flake out and never show up to pick the stuff up, based on my experiences.

I actualy have a bunch of stuff I want to get rid of myself The little bit I may get for everything seems like so much of a hassle when I have to answer all the calls then wait around to see if the people show.... then have them all walk around my home.. so in the end I am in the process of finding a good organzation to donate everything to. ( just picking one at the moment ) If you really want to sell the items.. I wish you luck.... but keep in mind there are lots of great organizations that would be happy to take the items away from you, and you would be supporting a good cause.
Yes but you forgot to mention that you were in the picture with the TV in the back ground....I got rid of an old TV that was free in about 30 minutes. Put it in the 'free stuff' section for people to pick up, and it will be gone in a day.
Pictures help!:nod:
What?????? you didn't like my white van??^^^^Yeah, you would not have believed the creepy dude that showed up in a white van with tinted windows...I am lucky to be alive!
Hmmm you know when I picked up the TV I forgot to invit you over to my place, I mean since I have a New TV and all...., just let me know, My mom is not home on Tuesday and Thursday's so we would have the basement all to ourselves....:eyebrows:
Selling anything on craigslist or Kijiji is a crapshoot at best....if it is an expensive item like a used
vehicle you will get lowballed by a bunch of douchebags who justify cutting the price in half or more
because they will pay in cash.
I have only had 1 item for sale on Kijiji that went well and it was for a very specialized bench mounted
power tool.It came with a lot of extras as well.The guy emailed me and asked if it was still for sale and
when I replied that it was he called me immediatly.I told him that I had another guy interested in it
and he said "consider it sold and for $50 more than you are asking if it is MINE".He took the address down
and arrived 45 minutes later.He inspected the item and was satisfied and the deal was done but he was
$100 short so he drove to his nearest bank branch and got the cash and happily left with the item.
This is the only sale on Kijiji I have had go this way and it was because the guy was specifically looking
for this item used.

Man, I've never good luck getting rid of things on Craigslist.
One time I was trying to give away a couch FOR FREE, and every response I got was like "well, I'll consider taking a look at it if you drive it out my place in Mechosin!" :doh:
