Today marks the first time I've sold something on eBay. It is my old trackball mouse, and it actually sold for $51 plus shipping. I am pretty impressed, but I think I probably could have simply listed it on Craig's list for $60 and had someone pick it up. I'm not so sure that eBay is the best way to sell stuff when Craig's list is a free alternative that tons of people use

For instance, my mom wants me to clean out all of the computer parts from my room at home. I think I'm going to list them all on Craig's list and say "make me an offer." I will probably get a whole lot of decent prices for my junk.
