I just uploaded all of my items from eBay mainly because of convenience. I am now on eBay and Bonanza. Should I look elsewhere to list items for sale? Also, does anyone think that advertising my listings on Craigslist is worth anything? Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

I can tell you that I do okay on Craigslist, but I don’t sell items in your price range for the most part, so I don’t know if that makes a difference. I can also tell you, though, that it requires the patience of a saint and then some, plus a very high tolerance for a whole lot of nonsense from scammers and people who have entirely too much time on their hands.
I put up with it, but just because I’m a rebel like that and ain’t gonna let the haters get me down and whatnot. Lol.

There’s not a whole lot else out there to sell on unfortunately. I’d nearly put Bonanza side by side on what else is out there to sell on outside of eBay. The reason why I say I’d nearly put Bonanza beside and not right next to other selling sites other than eBay is because Bonanza has got more perks/tools than the rest in my opinion.
Other than that though, Presto is a good place for having your own website. It’s $30 a month and you get some free Google shopping advertising out of that, good ability to work your SEO, web pages so that you can communicate with your customers about your store in detail (thereby creating even better SEO), etc. The owners are great there.
Welcome to Bonanza!!!!!

Never put all your eggs in one basket. I sell on eBay and I love Tictail (Swedish base free website) for 2 groups of products. I also sell on eCrater another 2 groups of product and have done more in one year there than 4 1/2 years here on bonanza. You still have to advertise, (I use Pinterest and google plus). eCrater sends feeds to Google with no charge like here. I have control of my stores on these sites and I can send feeds to various search engines myself.
Keep searching the websites for what people are doing in order to sell.

Not a really well known site (kinda like Bonanza) but I had some listings on www.speeditrade.com I did not have too much luck there but maybe it was just what I was selling there. Seems others do well selling Jewelry and coins it seems.
You pay a fee based on item cost to first list your item and no fees if you sell it. There may be promo codes for free lists for limited qtys if you are a NEW member (what I did) but forgot what that code actually was.
You will need to register with a valid credit card if you decide to use the site. (Keeps the riff-raff out).
Good Luck

I list on Bonanza, Etsy, Craigslist and Ebay. I do better on Ebay and Etsy. I also do better on Craigslist. I sell larger items on Cragislist. Haven’t had a problem. There just isn’t any traffic here. So I go to the places where there is traffic.

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
