Dive Depth Meter and Watch. I'm selling them because:
A) I don't dive and I'm generally above sea level and so it's not too exciting
B) I can't figure out the watch. It only shows me "N-S-E-W" like some sort of cryptic Magic 8 Ball and spins around every time I move.

I mean, at the end of the day, Craigslist is filled with perverts...
My ad, after a month, is still on page one.
I'm going to sell my Banana Pump without the perverts. There's clearly not enough of them.
So I go to Kijiji.
And, most of my visits are via people checking "See other items for sale from this user...", so the banana-pump views, they're climbing...
And it keeps me posting ads, different ads in all categories, because a surprising amount of sales come from people browsing your other ads.
So I gotta get a lot more ads out there. Drive a lot more visits. But - so far, Kijiji V Craigslist, Kijiji is winning.

Been trying to sell off shit. Lots of shit. So much shit, my living room has become another locker, "Living" is the key word here, there's no living done, no room for it, I got to unload.
So I listed a pile of stuff on Kijiji - and yesterday was a good day, after a fashion. A flute I'd had listed for a month finally sold, no arguing about the price, that never happens. And an antique thing-a-ma-jig sold and a tacky old coin bank, within a few hours of listing. Calls about other stuff, the X-Ray machine, guy just wanted to talk about it for an hour, inquiries about the sewing machine, the vintage bar aid. And, lying down to nap, this text comes in:
I'd advertised it on Craigslist, a month ago, no bites, this was the first so I'd kind of forgotten. I'd listed it as a Secret Santa sort of thing, perfect for when you drew the bosses name, I mean, this is the gift that would keep on giving.
And the first nibble, I scared him away, I gotta learn to be a little more discreet. I'm going to relist it on Kijiji as a Banana Pump and see if it doesn't move there...

The Antique Oak library desk, sold, lady, driving in from Strathmore, inquisitive about every detail, I'm letting it go cheap and cheaper...
It needs a bit of TLC, a couple of hours work for a competent crafts-person, tops, she asks me "How much will it cost to get fixed?".
She's dickering hard, I had it listed at $45, she wants to offer $25, I didn't want to dicker, didn't care, really, would have let it go for free, put it back in the alley, but a small return on it's storage was nice...she'd spent that much in gas easily to come and look at it...
Funny, though, her lines, "It's in disappointing condition"...well, maybe if I was asking $200 it was, but for $45 it was in great condition, go to Ikea and see what $45 gets you..., still, her own bargaining tactics, really, I could have held out for $35, I doubt she'd have returned empty handed, I could have stood upon obtuse points of principle (many do), but now, I'm Mr. Negotiable, take it and be gone...4 days of work, 12 days of Calgary to go.
