    Default Craigslist vs. Ebay

    Which is it more lucrative to sell on. I have a walk in closet of clothes,shoes etc. that still have the tags on them.

    Which is the better route to go?

    Shipping cost and Ebay fees vs Craigslist and inviting the city into my home (which I have no problem with if its worth it?)

    I think CL is more advantageous for the buyer. You are generally dealing with an asking price, and if it is really cheap you can scoop it up before anyone else gets to it. When I buy many CL sellers complain about people setting up meetings and not showing up, showing up with not enough money, or creepy people with other motives.

    On Ebay as a seller you have people from all across the country looking at your stuff and pushing up the price. As a seller you need to charge enough for shipping to cover your time and materials

    EBay will get you more money and less douche-itude from the buyers.

    CL is simpler to "do" but you will get less money and have every douche with a computer offering you a nickel for your stuff, and half of them will not show up when you have asked them to come.

    IMO, live person if the stuff you have is flattering on you and you take good pics.
