i bought a sit n stand stroller at a garage sale this summer and i hate it. i see that the same model can bring in about 25-35 bucks, w/o shipping. but the thought of boxing this thing up makes me not want to list it. should i take the chance at just doing a local auction or just list it like normal and let the crazies actually pay all that shipping?

Could you put it on Craig's list? I know I wouldn't pay for shipping something like that, so maybe if you don't do Craig's list do a local auction.

If you don't want the hassle of shipping, try Craigslist, or do you have a Once Upon A Child or other consignment store that will buy it?

Or a photo and sign in the local grocery store? If you feel like boxing and shipping, start box hunting now. Good luck!

You can ebay it for local pickup only if you are in or close to a big city or town. Here I usually have no problems, but Dallas is huge...

I would ebay for a local auction. If it doesn't work out you can always place an ad in a paper (some neighborhood papers do free ads if your item is under a certain dollar amount), or do the Once Upon a Child Thing.

Craigslist is a site that people sell and trade locally for FREE. Find your city, check out "for sale" area - you'll be hooked!

I would put it on Craigslist, www.craigslist.org find your city go to for sale/wanted baby/ kids section. You can post it for free, no fees it's all local so someone has to pick it up. What model sit and stand is it? I've seen the newer ones sell for $100 on CL!

Make sure you put in the ad
Cash only, you must pick up in ____ your location.
