Now I refuse to have anything to do with them. Our business sells lots of stuff on e-bay and craigslist too. Craigslist can be a real pain but it does work. There are a few other sites out there that work like craigslist but to date I've never managed to sell anything on any of them. Online selling is always strange. One day you're selling like hot cakes and the next day you can't sell anything. And you can't see that anything has changed. You just have to be willing to accept the good with the bad. Finally, depending on what you're selling you might do well with one of the sites that specialize in only selling certain types of items.

So far I've only bought stuff on eBay, Craigslist, and other similar resources, but I definitely have some stuff I could get rid of and sell online. Thanks! Great pointers!

To me, it's worth it because they sell faster as you pointed out. I've used Half.com as well with great success. I just notice that it takes a little longer to sell and I wanted to get rid of the stuff fast. Yeah, I agree that they are a little on the pricey side.

Where they really get you is the fees for selling books. They used to be much better, but they've added fees and it is irritating. Still, books sell faster on Amazon because of their traffic. I also list books for sale on half.com (and try to buy there as I know the seller is getting more of the money) because the fees are lower. If you list on both (I don't think it's technically allowed, but you can do it...) then make sure to immediately inactivate the item on the other site as soon as it sells. Not having the book to sell someone is a sure way to killer your rating on both sites.
