As far as I know it is. The best way to find out is try it! If they want money I am sure they will tell you before you finish your post.

Yeah, Craigslist is free.

I sold a motherboard off of there, but it took forever.

My biggest gripe is the scammers. You'll probably get a few emails from people in Nigeria.

Personally, I've had better luck with specific forums - car forums, computer forums, etc.

Still Free, but let them reply to the craigslist e-mail forwarding service or put a contact # in. That way you don't end up on the spammers e-mail list. I am in Real Estate and almost all of my business is through them. Works great if you like free!

I have noticed if you put cash only in your ad (assuming you're selling it locally), you don't get the scammers since they all want to use is a check.

I heard that craiglist might start charging for posting ads because people post multiple ads in one category. That was a rumor but I guess it has not happened.
Thanks I am going to create a account.

That is where I bought my 90 gallon saltwater aquarium complete... It was a great deal and couldn't be happier! Anyway can't speak for the fees.

I sure hope it's still free..I have sold a Toyota Tundra, Hot Tub, Motorcycle, and some misc stuff on it.

You do need to worry about scammers.

I thought the Tundra sale was one..I live in the Portland OR area and the guy who ended up buying it was in Seattle. He came down and drove it and then called an made an offer the next day.

The one issue was that I would have to send a power of attorney to his credit union so they could transfer the title..Since he was financing via his CU it had to happen there...

I was a bit sceptical...So I took the day off..and drove it up there (~160 miles each way)...It turned out to be all legit..He dropped me off a the airport.where I rented a car and drove home..

I cost a few bucks and a day's vacation..so it worked out.
