Frugal Friday 17: Using Free Classifieds

We all have things in our house that we need to get rid of. Instead of having a yard sale and underpricing your stuff, or paying to sell it on Ebay, try placing a free online classified ad.
Craigslist has become a very popular classified website. Several years ago Ebay bought 25% of Craigslist. For a while, they didn’t do anything with it and just let it sit there as an investment. But now, Ebay is going into competition with a company they partially own by launching Kijiji.com.
Now we have two free online sources for selling things. Looks like the two companies will be competiting for our business, which is good for us.
I confess . . . I have a huge pile of boxes in my house with yard sale stuff in them. I need to get busy and list this stuff on one of these sites so that I can make some money.

I just listed my first ad at Kijiji. Yay!
