Kijiji is absolutely fantastic as a free junk removal service. It's amazing to me how quickly people reply/show up to grab anything that's free.
Buying/selling is very hit & miss, and depends on what your selling. I've sold (and bought) guitars/camera gear with little trouble. Just ignore the low balls.
On the other hand I had a junker car with a set of snow tires I was trying to upload that was a nightmare. "I'll give $300, can you deliver it to high river?"
I've had similar experiences with TV's & Computers. It's hard to get a fair price when you need to overprice things by at least $50 so the buyer can feel they haggled you down.
Although my favourite Kijiji thing is coming across sellers with terrible photos of expensive camera gear. Just makes me laugh that some one with a photography hobby can't take the 15 minutes to snap decent photos of their $2500 Leica.
