IM is great.

I do like kijiji even though there's a bunch of crappy people on it.

I just sold a pretty much new item for $60 (originally $100) and when the guy showed up of course he tried to ask if $50 was enough. I told him everything was already agreed upon and he said "ok, worth a try" and still paid the $60.

Tips: I was way too nice when selling or giving stuff away free, if it's free always post "first come, first serve" or prepare to be annoyed with people not getting back to you, or making other arrangements for you to drop it off, etc...
If you get lowball offers just politely say "Thanks but I have already received offers close to my asking amount", they will either f-off or they will actually offer you a decent offer.
