Something to consider also is offering a trade on Craigslist Electronics deprecate in value over time, but when you offer a trade you could link up with someone who has something with a greater value than you could get in straight up cash, which you want anyway . Everyone tends to have items in their house they don't use, but have intrinsic value, so they don't want to throw them away

Two examples of trades I made like this:
-- I traded a Mp3 boombox that I was asking $35 for a Cateye Strada CC-RD300W bike computer worth $50-60 at the time
-- I traded a brand new bicycle hydration pak I paid $50 for a Yakima 1A Raingutter roof rack with cross bars worth $200+ when new.

The only downside is that it takes forever to move anything on Craigslist in my locality despite the fact I live 1 hour from NYC and a little over 1 hour from Philadelphia, one of the most densely populated areas of the USA and economically active areas of the word.
