    What's the best way these days? I'm about to upgrade my riding mower situation and will have no use for the older one. It's in fine shape, just want something that's a bit more heavy-duty.

    My main reason for asking is that I do NOT want to deal with 394+/- messages/calls from craigslist types. Any good online marketplaces? I've also thought about putting flyers in the local feed/hardware stores.

    I used "offer up" in the past. I recommended it to a coworker a few weeks ago and he sold his side by side within a day. He did say there was some type of registration fee which wasn't applicable when I used it before.

    I use Craigslist but price it well. (Yes I know you hate it). Saving 10-15% is not worth it. If it’s priced to sell and worded with no negotiations I usually have something solid in a day or 2.
    No endless messages and use separate gmail

    my time is more valuable than that extra cash as I’m sure yours is

    I honestly haven't used craigslist in years and years (not since they shut down the "casual encounters" section ;) ), I'll give it a shot

    If you're asking if I'll buy used hair gel the answer is a resounding YES.

    You get much better results if you buy ads on Facebook and Craigslist.

    I'm interested in buying a used golf cart if anyone is selling. Needs to have 3 rows of seats. Doesn't need to be in top shape. I'm willing to rehab it. Won't pay anywhere near $10k so get that out of your head.

    Use FB Marketplace or Offer Up @Buck Turgidson

    Both platforms are pretty solid for listings
