If you watch Ebay you can list items for free and get other discounts. I listed my Tear at the right time and only paid a little change for what I had listed. I had no bids until the last hour which I expected and then it sold for what I wanted - sight unseen but had lots of pictures of all the pros and cons (galley hatch had water damage and weighed a TON!).
Craigslist works for some people and that's great. Frankly, I hate it. I don't want to deal with scammers and CL is chop-a-block full of them but that goes for anything. Like Thomas said, you just have to blow them off.
