When we hear about folks selling their cars on Craigslist, we generally don’t recommend it because so much can go wrong, plus if you don’t know what you’re doing, it can be a very frustrating process. However, we know plenty of people have had perfectly fine experiences. We wanna hear about your best or worst experiences selling on Craigslist. If you want to hear from us first, you can also check out our blog for some helpful steps and tips for selling on Craigslist, and this short video about one of our memorable experiences.

Best experience, buying a 1997 Miata with 51,000 original miles for $3500 From the original owners. A friendly retired couple who kept it in the garage and only drove it on occasion to their beach house in Northern California. Once in a lifetime bargain. Four years later and it’s at 53,400 miles.

Best experience, I bought an $11k Santa Cruz mountain bike for $7k, rode it for a season then sold it for $8,500…

Craigslist is how I met @zrk In the MfM section. It's been the best/worst experience.

I sold an electric weed wacker on there, guy bought it for 15 bucks, used it and drove back to my house and said it broke and he wanted his money back.

I gave him the 15 bucks back and told him to keep it.

Never again did I sell anything there.

My better half and we’re AF 1st Shirts. One of her troops family members were murdered by a person posting a car for sale on Craig’s list. Left behind five kids. It was terrible to say the least. We did everything we could to support them with all resources the military has for its service members.

On the upside we got Lincoln Log Dog. They took a humanitarian assignment to move closer to family in order to help raise the kids. But couldn’t take Lincoln.

Don’t mean to be a Debbie downer. Just a no shit reminder to be careful.

Y’all are laughing, but you haven’t seen the seedy motel we stayed at a couple weeks back.

Selling on there is a pain lol. I got my first pup from there and it was a breeze, but then I tried to sell a phone and got scammed

Oh my... Our deepest condolences to them, that's a true nightmare. Lincoln is some good to come from Craigslists, but still, it's so important to be careful on there.
