ParticipantNever thought there ever were many bargains on craigslist. Everybody thinks their second hand goods are retail less 10% for some reason. Still, it is a market for second hand cars at the moment, so that may have impacted seller expectations.

ParticipantI have never bought anything on CL but used it occasionally to sell random “garage sale” type items. As a seller the problems I see are:
1. 90% of buyers are flaky/not serious. They’ll send me one email saying they are “very interested” then when I reply I never hear from them again. Pretty annoying.
2. Of the remaining 10% of buyers most seem to either want your goods dirt cheap (much less than fair value) and/or will pull a bait and switch by lowballing when I meet up to sell the item.
Personally when I sell items I always list them slightly higher than what I actually intend to get, to account for the fact that everyone tries to negotiate. So maybe that is factoring into the high prices that you see.
