Anybody use this website?

Good or bad experiences that I should know about.

Just posted a vintage Vette on there and salt water aquariums and this is my first time using craigslist.

I sold some things of mine a couple of years ago. Sold a 55 gallon aquarium and a stereo system. No problems myself. As long as you make it clear what your expectations are, you shouldn't have any problems. No checks is something I learned from ebay. PayPal is great to be the go between as far as money goes...or cash works too.
Just my 2 cents

If you can't find roommates in other ways just live alone.

I've bought and sold on Craigslist numerous times. I luv it. It really is the next eBay ... I just found out recently that eBay is partial owner of craigslist

I've had no bad experiences. I always say "Item will not be shipped, local pickup only." (I've had those Nigerian scammers trying to reel me in - I fallbaqck on the saying, "If its too good to be true, chances are it is) Also note "Cash only" (no money orders as those can be fake - and since you'd be the one cashing it, you'd also be the one paying the money back when they find out its fake)

Thank you all for your replies!

One of my aquariums is already spoken for, but it is the car that I really need to sell.

Zen, I am in San Antonio, hopefully my add will turn some heads.

I've found new places to live, I've gotten roommates, and I've connected with other musicians through Craigslist. I've never had an issue with the site.

If you need a quick replacement appliance for the home, you can generally find them there pretty easily, and often for free. An old boss of mine needed to prepare a rental property for tenancy, so he had me get a range off craigslist.

Im sure you'll get some response. Just be sure to repost pretty often. That way your ad stays closer to the top.
