So, I went on the Minimalists Meetup FB site and asked how people are getting rid of things. I was really disillusioned with the whole garage sale thing. A few suggested an app called Letgo. I'd seen the commercials, thought I'd give it a go.
Highly impressed. I started getting messages right away. So, I've been using it for a couple weeks now and have sold -- two iron skillets, bicycle jogger, hedge clippers, small end table, couch, and some make up brushes. People are polite and reliable. Have not had the same experiences with Craigslist.
I will keep posting stuff throughout the year on Letgo on a weekly basis.
