Craigslist
Trying to sell some of my shit on there before I move next month, was wondering if anyone has had any success selling stuff on there, this is the 5th time I am posting on there to get rid of furniture, speakers and other things, all I have gotten is people asking WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many questions, and spammers. I was told to post and delete the old posts and make new posts every two days to get to the top of the list, so far after a week, I'm not getting much luck 
I sold plenty of stuff there, just dont meet in a dark ally, or you are asking for an anal raping
Post a bunch of pics to avoid stupid questions.

i usually sell within the week of the posting, never had to repost the ad
i've never had that problem. 
i just put im selling stuff then just a bullet list and my number but i say text only, i feel weird talking to absolute strangers if they call.
i get a few spam emails which i delete but people usually text me from there, i sold my xbox, controllers, & games to some weird cholo guy, thankfully i told him to meet me at a mall parking lot 
Thats why I never go into sales, I cant even sell my own shit fast 
i've sold a lot of shit on craigslist, i think one time back when I was 18 or something, I posted a box of junk like a broken printer, a spider web of cables, some old computer speakers, an iomega jazz drive with a stuck cartridge in it and the guy basically met me infront of my apt, he handed me $75 and I handed him a box with all this crap in it. It was awesome, that $75 went straight to a quarter of bud
That reminds me, I need to clear out all my sneaker boxes, some high-end cycling stuff, so the picture taking resumes!
FALL BACK MOTHAFUCKAZ

When I moved to the other side of the country last year, I sold everything I owned on Craigslist and had very little troubles.
The key is to have a ton of photos and reasonable prices. Detailed ads that explain the dimensions etc. are helpful, especially with big furniture seeing as not everyone has large enough apartments etc. to fit a huge couch or whatever.
It is often helpful to give a deadline like "MUST BE GONE BY _______" It puts pressure on the buyers to make a decision. You either buy it by this date, or you have lost your chance. The wishy washy buyers will often give up on it.
If you are selling your entire place, you could even advertise a house sale and just let people come to your place on the weekend and 'shop around'. It's a little creepier to do it that way but I have seen it work really well. We went to about 4 or 5 of those types of sales when we got here and they had pretty much cleaned up.
I sell and buy a lot on Craigslist. Don't ask for too much for your stuff. Search for comparable items and price likewise, or lower.

The key to selling stuff on craigslist is to try and make your ad stand out from the rest. Try adding something extra to the sale. Like a bag of chips & salsa or even a chia pet. Works every time.
