Sell home items on Craigslist

I already posted about the wonders of Freecycle.org in this post, and I continue to look on Freecycle often to see if there are items we need for our new home that we can get at no cost.  Another great resource is Craigslist, both to find and sell items.

My mom is selling her house and wants to get rid of a lot of great items, so I suggested she post them on Craigslist.  It's easy and you can make some good money, and the best part is that people will come to pick up the items, so you don't have to do the work of driving them anywhere or lifting anything heavy.

In my experience, to sell items on Craigslist, you should:

1. Include key words that people will search for
2. Post good pictures
3. Write short descriptions in bullet format so the post is easy to read

I really like this Craigslist selling guide from Seventh House on the Left.  Check it out.
