Metro Nashville, for what it's worth. Granted, I priced stuff to move, but with buyer-picks-up for all - However, I moved everything from an elliptical machine to a dining room set to some bookshelves to a doghouse (for free) and more. I didn't find buyers for my wheelbarrow and Ronco Rotisserie, though. ;-) But seriously - I got more e-mail about the stuff than I could keep up with.

I didn't post in an ad in the newspaper or anything other sources because I was able to sell them very quickly. The area you live in might be a big factor too.

My hubs has sold computer gear on Craig's List (it flew out the house almost, we got calls just a couple minutes after he posted!) and with our rental house that is how we have found our tenants.

I've used it in three metropolitan areas and have been very successful as a purchaser of items or looking at job postings. (Got a job from it in 1998 when it first went from a mailing list to the web.) Even if it didn't go so well this time, I'd still give it a chance since it's free, and growing all the time. Plus Craig is really nice. Craigslist is highly dependent upon where you live.
