My Favorite Way to Shop!

A few months ago I sold about $2,000 in product through ebay. Since then, I've enjoyed purchasing product through ebay and craigslist. Here's some of what I've purchased through each site.
Ebay: bluetooth devices, phones, hard drives, water filters, etc.
CraigsList: Saxophone, electric lawnmower (I think that's all...)

Today I sold my kid's swingset for $10 on CraigsList.com as they have outgrown it. I was mostly interested to just get it removed from my back yard. I was surprised at the calls I started getting! And got even more after people started getting off work. I probably could have sold it for more than $10... but maybe next time... The cool thing is that I posted and sold the swingset all in the same day.

As I look for stuff on Craigslist, and as I sell stuff on it, I think it's important to list a phone number, provide a good description and pictures.
Below is what I posted.


My kids are too big now... This swingset includes a baby swing as well as a slide (as shown in the picture). It does not include a regular swing seat though. Call me to schedule pickup or if you have any questions, (817) xxx-xxxx. It is located in the Eagle Mountain area off of Boat Club Road. I plan on dis-assembling it and keeping all the parts for you so when you come to pick it up it will be ready to load-and-go!
Thanks! Update: Someone just called and inquired about rust and if the set is 'swing worthy'. I snapped three more pictures (see below) trying to show more information regarding the quality of the set, and yes, it is 'swing worthy' :-)
