In major metro areas, though mainly SF, LA, and NY, craigslist is good for selling the kind of stuff you'd sell in the classifieds or at yard sales -- electronics, furniture, cars, car parts, etc. -- at low/medium prices. Craigslist generally isn't good for selling high-end specialty items or collectibles except at deep discount. There is a "free" section of all craigslists for things that are offered or desired for free.
I liked craigslist because it's local. People come by your house, as they would if you advertised in the paper. But you can also be as private and compartmentalized as you want; anonymous email forwarding is an option most people use for replies.
