Cars.com allows a free 1 photo ad for 45 days.

Ebay does too.

I am trying to sell my motorcycle and have to say that CL is godawful for selling something.

80% of the time I get emails from people saying they want to come look today or tomorrow, then ask me what time would work. I respond with a time, and no response ever again.

15% of the time I get total lowball offers. I am asking over $4,000 for my motorcycle and I have people expecting me to want to get less than half of that.

4% of the time I get weird, half written e-mails... I got one this past weekend with the body of the email saying "if the seller" -- nothing else.

1% of the time... well... I guess that 1% is the people who are actually serious about buying something.

It's a total buyer's market. No private sale route will be easy unless it's a killer deal. That said, Craigslist gets it out there. Ebay covers a wider area but is not free (pay for the ad and pay after the sale, also pay paypal if you take a credit card). I've done well with CL, but I know how to read through the BS and get to the serious responses. If I don't get any, the price is too high.
