I was selling my car recently. So I decided to post it on Craig's List to generate some interest. I had near instantaneous success.

Basically I ran a free ad in the Raleigh auto section of the site. I no soon clicked 'publish', that about 7-10 minutes later my phone rang. It was an interested buyer who wanted to take a look.

We arranged to meet a half-hour later in the parking lot of a shopping center close to my house. I arrived and took him for a spin.

He liked the opportunity and the price. We agreed and made a deal. Case closed. Done.

He picked it up the next day - cashier's check in hand.

I don't know if I could have possibly streamlined this any faster. I guess you get lucky sometimes. I paid nothing to run the ad and didn't even include a picture.
