…is WAY easier than I thought.  We’ll see how my 2nd transaction goes.

So last night I had my first experience selling something on Craigslist. I think everyone knows that Ive posted personal ads there before, but never really anything else. After I was sitting at starbucks bitching with Matt about my lockline phone problems seen in the previous post, he told me to get off my ass and just sell the Treo. Thats exactly what I did. While we were still at starbucks, I wrote up a quick little post for the Sprint Treo 650 and posted it online. It didnt have any pictures, but its price made it stand out I think. 20 minutes after posting it I had half a dozen requests for it, one of which I called, and she wanted to pick it up asap and had cash ready. I told her I had to run home to grab the phone so I did, and she showed up a bit later to buy it. This was a total no-headache transaction for me, other than it happened much quicker than I anticipated. Within 90 minutes of posting the Ad on Craigslist, I had $250 cash in my hand, and no more Treo 650 depreciating on my shelf. Even though I probably could have gotten a bit more for that phone, I wanted it to move quickly and thats exactly what it did.

Today I got my LG VX 8100 and just posted it on Craigslist for $260. I dont think this one will move quite so quick since the retail cost for this phone is $319.99 directly from verizon. The Treo at $250 was a much better deal, but hopefully someone needs one and doesnt want to pay full retail. We’ll see how this one goes.
