The opposite here for CL. After selling the trailer, yesterday I decided to list my 24 speed road bike. It just sits because I no longer can ride in that position due to my back.

I get up this morning and there is a message from a guy in Grand Rapids and he wants to see it. By noon, the bike is gone, full price asked in my hand. :)

Baz would have been there by 9am and filled both hands with cash :D.

Next up on CL....my Honda powered pressure washer. Haven't used it for about 3 years.
Time to sell it.

Just now had two more inquiries about the bike on CL.
The money is there...great time to be selling.

I need to purchase a big AC/DC aluminum Tig welder. I was feeling bad about all the money I have been spending on my tow truck project , so I decided to sell down some stuff . I listed my unfinished project 1989 Yamaha XT 350 last night , just before I went to bed .
Sold it for full asking price today at 3:15. I bought a 10 ft 4x6 1/4" aluminum beam,( big money new ) and am pciking up a nice tig set up tomorrow afternoon. All on marketplace .
I love it , but it is flakey at times. You just have to roll with it .
I think I answered 35 or more requests . I hate it , but I always answer them all . You never know

I've found that my listings on CL can sit for a couple weeks....but when I get a response, I get 5 or 6 more right afterwards.
It's almost like one response opens the listing up...I dunno.

I still like CL for non shippable items. I've never had a bad sale...and they always bring the green stuff.
