Craigs List

So since our new bed did not need a box spring I decided I would list this along with the metal frame for our bed on Craig's List. Kevin had his doubts anyone would want this, but I thought, hey its free so why not try. So I listed it for $100.00 thinking if someone was interested I could probably get at least $50.00, but low and behold someone wanted it and they did not even try to talk down the price. The check cleared the bank so now I am thinking of using this money towards an new duvet set for our room. We have had the same one since we got married so I think it is time for a new one, then I am going to attempt to sell our old one on Craig's List and we will see what happens. Or maybe I should try to sell it first??
Has anyone out there sold on Craig's list? I like the fact you don't have to pay for it and there is no shipping involved, they came right to our house and picked it up. This is my first time doing this and it was very simple to list it and I got good results. We will see what happens next time.

I have used Craig's list and liked it! We have had very strange people buy our stuff, but they paid cash, so who cares? I think new bedding is a great idea.
