[quote=Anonymous]I'm not rich.  I sell things on Craigslist on occasion.  Usually I just give away to a thrift store but if I think it will be easy to sell or worth selling, I will sell it for less than I paid.  I usually start at 50% of the price I paid then after a week or so if no one bought it, drop the price about 20% and continue to do so until it's not worth listing any longer.  Usually someone buys it by that point.  If I have something that's going to be a PITA to sell or I just don't feel like dealing with the buyers, I'll list it as free.  This is usually a used bulky item that's still too good to go to bulk trash pickup.  Listing things as free is a great way to get rid of them because a lot of people will want it so you'll get a lot of responses quickly.

I used to meet in a third party location like a parking lot but after a couple of no-shows, I just started having people come to my house because I'm not wasting my time for someone that may not show up for the items.  I haven't had any thieves show up yet but of course I've always sold used items.  I'm not selling new PS5's for a mark-up.[/quote]
