For me, it seems like the easiest stuff to sell is specific to one group of people. I never had too much trouble selling pontiac stuff, because only pontiac people are interested. I just sold a snowmobile in july, had 4 people interested, one from michigan. Had the snowmobile trailer listed for a few days then it sold. Dirt bikes and ATV's aren't too bad to sell, you get a lot of kids but they're easy to weed out.
The most frustrating stuff is junk I say is free. I quit putting free stuff on CL because one person always responds immediately that they want it, but you never hear back, 10 other people want it but can't come till the weekend... I started putting stuff on Facebook but it's the same way. A local guy is always looking for free scrap, guess his family needs the money. I had a little bit I said he could have. He was gonna be here at 7pm on a beautiful summer evening. So now were stuck all evening waiting for this dude. Sure enough at 7pm he texts me and says his truck is full and he can't make it tonight! Like he couldn't have told me at 4 or 5 that it's full? He bugged me for a few days but I ignored him. Posted a very large chicken coup for free, I never knew how popular chicken coups are, especially free ones. First people said there were coming tonight, then they couldn't find a trailer, then couldn't get a truck, then in the morning, then afternoon... Eventually I showed a little frustration because of the wasted time but they did show and got it out of here. I'm never saying anything is free again.
