Write a Great Headline
Most Craigslist shoppers know what they’re looking for. Create a concise headline with one perfect adjective. Avoid all caps and rows of exclamation points-they look amateur.

Post Large and Clear Photos
Upload one full-length picture of the item and a few close-up shots from various angles. Make sure photos are 800 pixels wide so shoppers won’t have to scroll to see your coffeemaker.

Thursday Posts Perform Best
Add your goods between 6 and 7 p.m. on Thursday to target weekend bargain shoppers. If items haven’t sold by Friday, delete the listing and repost on Saturday to keep the sale feeling fresh.

Be Smart About Price
Haggling seals the deal online. Don’t say you’re firm on pricing. If you are set on a certain amount, ask for more money than you’ll accept and meet somewhere in the middle.

Offer Help Moving
Make it easier for shoppers to take large products home. If a prospective buyer lives nearby, offer to deliver the sofa to his house. If he doesn’t, give him the name of a cheap moving company.

Provide a Secure Email
Select the option that allows people to e-mail you through Craigslist. Also, to keep creepers from continuing to call, sign up for a Google Voice number, which you can toss after the sale.

Be Honest
If you’re selling a big item like a car, be up-front with your reasoning. Are you due for a vehicle upgrade? Is the engine sticky? Be open, and keep others from drawing their own conclusions.
