Keep in mind that with Craigslist you do not have to pay any listing fees, closing fees, PayPal fees, etc. Whatever you charge for the item you will keep all the money. You also don’t normally have to deal with packing and shipping it. You can also sell it as soon as you find an interested buyer, you don’t have to wait a week for the auction to end. Of course eBay is a much larger market. So you might get a little more for it, but after you consider all of the listing and selling fees, sometimes it evens out.
