selling/buying stuff

[98prosport]

everybody is either buying or selling. so, where do you go 1st? the "bay" "craigs" or "amazon". why?

Wow, I didn't even know there was an HSOList.com. I'll have to check that out for the future.

I've had my best luck on hsolist. No fees to sell, and a face-to-face transaction is preferable to me when selling or buying used gear from strangers. hsolist takes too much in seller fees these days, but I've bought a few things there at a good price.

I have had very good luck selling items on HSO especially if the item is in season and priced fairly.

I have sold items on the big online auction place but to me as a seller, it's kind of a pain. If I remember correctly, unless you sell a lot, it takes time to get your money.

Easy to buy but I believe a pain to sell and get your funds right away.

I have used that guy's list and the bay. If it is specialized and reasonable to ship, I would go with the bay since the audience of buyers is way bigger. If it is something that would be hard to ship, or general stuff that is fairly common I would use c list. I always ask for cash on c list. beware of scams also, typically involving cashier's checks or bank drafts and "return the extra".

What the heck... whole sentences are deleted out of my prior post.

I meant to say that "the bay" takes too much in seller fees, but I've made some good purchases there. I've had best luck with "that one guy's list named Craig", because it allows me to know that I am dealing with local people, and the transaction is face-to-face.

I've never used HSOList.

The list craig has is my go to whenever I sell anything. Just put a reasonable price on it and it should be gone in a few days.

Like the other said, just gotta be smart and use common sense. Only take cash and meet somewhere public. I always meet in parking lots of stores. That way theres cameras around if anything goes down.
