Most people have heard of eBay and others; craigslist still seems to still be a word-of-mouth secret.
We need to sell two large sofas.
Seems like craigslist is a good way to sell things like this – I’ve had some great feedback from friends and colleagues.
Here’s the link – if you’re interested I’ll certainly haggle on price 😉
Ah – the joys of online trading.
Here’s the first scam buyer:

Hello friend,
Please do you still have this item for sale? if yes,let me know the final
price. If you can ship to my home address in Texas, Payment will be by
american cashier’s check or money order.As for now I am in UK for a business
purpose, but I will make sure everything is arranged fine.
Also one of my client who is owing me some money will be sending the
money order or check to you, I will contact him and if he once agreed to
send the money order or check to you, so he will be sending to you the whole
money he is owing me so I just want you to cash the money order or check
and take out the money for your item and send the remaing balance to kanu
heart foundation(www.kanuheartfoundation.com) which I promised to donate
some
money for them, you will have to send it via money gram to them.I will send
you
the name and address of the person in the organisation you will send the
balance to
and I will send you my address in texas where you will ship the item to.I
hope I can trust you.
Therefore, if you are intrested I will like to have your full name and
contact address including your phone number so I can get in touch with
you ok.
I will be expecting your reply.
