Craigslist Listing Tips - A Good Source!

I have been using Craigslist (Atlanta) for several years as a major source of "heirloom-quality" furniture in need of refurbishing.   The ads are free and there are a lot viewers/users - so there is no down side.  Here are some suggestions for listing - later I'll be adding buying tips.

Listing Suggestions:

• Describe VERY briefly what you are selling in header - avoid all caps - and include price (e.g., Pair - Sherrill Club Chairs - $200) - the key words are important here to make sure buyers find you!
• Use separate ad for each item - do not mix together (see note above - the ads are free) - items that are hidden are harder to find!
• For furniture, always include at least one clear photo - no exceptions!  More are helpful! 
• Do indicate where you are located with enough specificity to help people figure out whether they are willing and able to get to you (e.g, NOT Atlanta but Buckhead).
• Always list price - do not ask for offers - do indicate whether you are firm or negotiable on price.
• For furniture - include dimensions and brand name if you have it - these are the questions most people ask.  
• Do not include phone number in ad - you can always provide that to legitimate potential buyers when they respond via email.
• Respond first come - first serve to all legitimate sounding inquiries - you'll know them when you see them.
• Inform all who inquire about piece when it is sold.
• Take ad down immediately when it is sold.

GOOD LUCK SELLING!!
