Slick 60's

So, I have been looking to unload some stuff that is too heavy to eBay. An old Dodge Caravan integrated child seat for middle row, a chipper/shredder that was sitting around.

And I was looking for a C4 tranny.

So I get a call from a fellow that found my child seat listed and saw that I was looking for a C4.

And another fellow showed up to look at the chipper.

After I sold the chipper that I hadn't used for 2 years, I took a child seat that I had optimistically listed for $50 and traded it for a C4 that had only one year on a rebuild and came with bell, filler, torque convertor.

End of day: I was ahead $375, got rid of two items and landed one that I wanted.

Wow!

Look into craigslist. Its even more "rough and tumble" than eBay, but with a little luck and patience, you can move heavy items that you could never sell on ebay.

Just my observations.....

I am going to have to check it out soon.

I will need to get rid of the Dent soon.

I like Craigslist. Sold a couple of 302 blocks that were in my way. Got a free bench seat for my 71, in decent shape even.

Craigslist is good because it's local and you deal with people face-to-face. Definitely good to check it regularly for tools, parts, etc.

I've sold plenty of stuff on there without any of the eBay hassles.

I like it alot. I bought a CJ-5 on there, made it run and sold it on there in a day and a half.. I also bought my 65 slick off there.

Craiglist sold several bulky items for me (furniture, riding mower to name two). I browse it occasionally, but haven't bought anything by it so far. As a selling tool it has proven to be excellent, and you can't beat the price!

Make sure when you go there to the the right link. I thought, ok , I will go there I hadn't seen my local one lately. So I typed in craiglist,WRONG!!! I thought I was on a beach in the south of France, on the girls gone wild site or on Hugh Grants home page!!. Make sure you put the "s" in between craig and list. I am still trying to coax my heart to get back into my chest where it belongs. I about had a heart attack. I really get tired of all these x rated sites getting a domain like legit sites out there like the Whitehouse or craigslist. If I wanted to look for scams,trash or other garbage I would search for it. So guys do a search for the one in your area.

Sounds like you made out pretty good. I've had good and bad luck with it. Sometimes I think I couldn't sell a $100 bill for $25 but then I sold an old lawn tractor I had sitting around without any hassle.

I recently bought about $850 worth of parts from a guy that given up on a project truck. Got the whole mess for $200. I am a happy camper.
