Craigslist or ?

I am selling my truck cap and wondering the best place to put a ad up. Craigslist, ebay or ? I have done ebay items before but only small stuff that could be shipped where this is going to be local only.

Looking for suggestions and if craigslist appears best what's the best form of payment besides cash or is their one.

Re: Craigslist or ?

I've sold some stuff on craigslist with good results (two motorcycles and a freezer) also bought some stuff.

I always do "local only" and "cash only".....everything else is pretty self explanitory. You should also upload some pics....they allow up to four and they automatically scale down (ie pics look kinda crappy).

Re: Craigslist or ?

Ok thanks! I had a feeling cash only but wanted to double check. Did you just communicate via email initially or did you put a # down for contact purposes?

Re: Craigslist or ?

Tell me about it. I was searching craigslist around 3 in the morning a while ago and someone had just put up a post for 4 tickets to the sox opener for only 5 bucks. Called him immediatly and picked up the tickets.

 Ok so I finally got a hit on Craigslist but I think it's a scam. This is what I got in a second email. My response to him was when it could be picked up and cash only. My only other thought was do paypal? Suggestions?

Thanks for the prompt response and i will love to make an instant
purchase i will be posting a Certified Check or money order to cover
the cost of the item while you hold on my behalf. Once you have
this,my mover will come pickup at you place.I will be needing the
following information to issue out the payment . . .

1.Name to be on the check

2.Home address

3.Telephone

4.Your state,city and zip code

** Pls note that the payment for the item will be send to your address
asap. I have taken a close look at the advert and am completely
satisfied i really need this and will appreciates that you help save
this for me till the payment arrives as it will save me some extra
cost***

Re: Craigslist or ?

It smells like a scam to me.

I would insist on local pickup and cash in hand.

Paypal accounts can be hijacked too!!!

Regards,

Randy

Houbytown		 That's hilarious. I'll bet the 'buyer' is in Nigeria or Russia.

 Also, be careful about the money as well. There have been several instances in the Chicago area of people paying with bogus bills. Get one of those money pens and pay careful attention to the money. If you suspect anything then, tell them you'd like them to go with you to the bank.

Re: Craigslist or ?

I had one of these in response to some Cubs tickets, after the game had already ended.

I gave them the name Crane Kenny for the check and the address/phone number of wrigley field to have their movers "pick up the items"
