my first craigslist experience

I think your girlfriend is off base here. CL Buyers tend to know the new-product price for the item they're seeking; they're only shopping on CL because they want to save off the new price. I think the key opportunity for CL arbitrage comes from uninformed sellers, not uninformed buyers; occasionally, all a seller knows is that they don't want the thing they have anymore.

I wanted to go see Lewis Black at the Borgata this August. The show was sold out and tickets were selling through agents at 2x face value or more. I picked up four on CL at face value, resold two over EBay at 1.9x face value, and kept two for personal use at almost no net cost.

So, OP, clearly what you should be doing is buying this TV over CL, not selling it.

Your way to high on the price but I would not sell it for $250 either. Alot of it depends on the brand though, as to what it would be worth.

To the guy who said you could buy a 1080p 42" for less than $900 at WalMart, no you can't. They have a Vizio 42" 720p for $900, which is the closest.

I'm trying to sell my bigger-POS 1993 Honda Accord there for $400 under Blue Book price (even though its condition is fine) and I'm not getting [censored] for responses. I hate this car. I want it out of my life.

[prodonkey]

so lower the price? That's usually what people do if they really want to sell something.

[goofyballer]

I'm already selling a $3100 car for $2700, I mean sure I can lower the price but this is [censored] ridiculous.

LOL, I had a 2002 Accord, 98 Caravan and 93 Accord. When I bought the wife a new minivan, we decided to keep the 93 Accord.
