Craigslist, hands down. I've sold a car, old TVs, furniture within 5 days or LESS from Craigslist. Plus without the hassle of having to ship stuff anywhere. eBay is OK for some items...but as a seller, I've had great success with Craislist. Just be careful though, as strangers will come to your crib. Some can be shady, but all in all they're just people who want to buy what you're sellin'.

I have had better luck on Craigslist than on Ebay. Plus there is the added benefit of local pickup and cash.

I think I prefer Craigslist to Ebay just because you don't have to ship

I'm not sure, but I would stay the heck away from Craigslist, that's for sure. They have caused enough havoc. Ebay and Amazon are reputable at least.

Okay, I am not an expert on this, I just know that Craigslist has very little editing and safety features included.
