Re: [MBZ] O.T. ebay vs. Craigslist
Lots less obvious fraud on Craigslist than eBay. Local enough so that proper piano movers and buyers can see the piano and touch it. Much smoother transaction and no BS feedback.

Re: [MBZ] O.T. ebay vs. Craigslist
My philosophy is always to try Craigslist first, since it's free. Let it go awhile there and then list on Ebay if necessary. I've had very good luck with both large and small (cheap/expensive) on Craigslist. Kinda depends on where you are, though. In some places the Craigslist community is more active than others.

Re: [MBZ] O.T. ebay vs. Craigslist
If I were you, I would contact your local trader publishing company office(bargain post, autotrader etc) and put an ad in the bargain post, should be cheap and can even have a picture. Will also go on the internet. andrew strasfogel wrote: For high value items, and espeically for items that can't be shipped out of the local area, go with the free service - Craigslist On 1/11/06, Bob Rentfro [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm going to sell a baby grand. ebay or Craigslist? ebay, obviously, has a wider reach but Craigslist is free but very area specific.
