Craigslist questions

Sometimes people look in the "toy and games" section rather than the "video games" section so you might want to put it in both. Have you ever heard of kijiji? You may have it for your area, the one for Toronto is much better than craigslist imo. More colourful, many more ads and a lot more traffic. You can even manage your ads, I'd suggest you put an ad there as well.

Also be careful when you meet them, try to meet in a public place and bring somebody along.

Yeah, I would agree this is best advice when dealing with anything on craigslist...

Thanks guys, as usual you were all a great help. It is so cool being able to post here and get help on things and get it so fast. Hopefully I can return the favor sometime.

It's hard to sift through xbox listings on Craigslist because you will also pick up 360 listings. Make sure you specify "original xbox" to make it easier for searchers.

Or simply add "-360" without the quotes to filter out everything Xbox 360 related. This works on many search engines.

That worked. Thanks for the tip. Don't know why I never tried it before.

I haven't heard of it til now. I just checked the one for the Boston area. It's got a long way to go to match the popularity of Craigslist. Only 7 ads for video games. I give them credit for the nice look-and-feel of the site.

Craigslist is good because you have complete control. if you change your mind on selling its not a problem. You can get what you want or not sell it. You can also try to sell the product in other venues while its listed there.

Oh that's interesting; quite different in Toronto. Here there's way more post on Kijiji than Craigslist. There's so many and it's constantly being updated, sometimes I have to wait 24 hours before my ad gets posted because of a lineup I assume lol. While OTOH sometimes it takes 10 minutes for a single new ad on Craigslist. (Yes I know because I usually spend my whole day sitting here trying to catch deals hahaha - can't blame me though; no summer job because of city worker strike.)

Kijiji is an eBay company. On the US eBay pages, it's even in the list of links at the bottom of the page.

As a side note, I bet someone on here reads this and decides to buy it from me LOL.

More likely if you give a price. Actually, I'm probably going to buy an XBOX soon (either softmodded or I'll softmod one myself). 360's are still way more than I'm willing to spend (especially since they tend to have a short life expectancy - if I ever get one I'll probably throw a turbo fan on it, and maybe some Arctic Silver).
