Two Tips for Profiting from Craigslist

Here are two tips from a reader for making the most of selling on craigslist. Stephen writes: A lot of people offer free stoves, stackable washer/dryers, and other large appliances simply because they don’t want to move them. If you watch, you’ll notice these from time-to-time in your neighborhood. These can be resold for around $100 to $150 on Craigslist the next day. Also, if you have something you just want gone, post it in the free section but ad “or highest bidder”. We’ve found that people will offer payment for an item we just wanted gone. We had a very large shed in our backyard we just wanted to get rid of, and when a guy said “I’ll give you 100 for it” we bumped him 20 spaces and said come get it. He did, that day.
