How I did it: it's simple to post an ad on craigslist.  after awhile you get the hang of how to word the ads and what you need to say about each thing.  it's simple to search and see how much other things are going for, so you can lower or raise the price of whatever you're selling.  it's definitely worth it and i've gotten rid of a lot of stuff that we just don't use anymore and other people wouldn't mind having.

Lessons & tips: specify whether you're willing to take things to the person if you're too far away so that you can eliminate people who think you will.  i make sure that i specify that i won't drive out of the area since i live too far from austin to get it out to anyone.  i deal with people in this area only.
