Posting your items on a public site like Craigslist may be scary at first, but if proper protocol is followed, the experience can be very rewarding.  The main rule for listing your antiques on Craigslist is DEAL LOCALLY!!  It is not a good idea to post your item in every city in CL's database.  Rather, stick to your own city, because the chances of getting scammed drop dramatically.

    iTaggit allows its users to import their item information directly into Craigslist (also into eBay, by the way), making the process of posting a classified ad virtually painless.  Giving potential buyers the best information and pictures using the layout generated by iTaggit will help you realize a higher price, because potential buyers feel safer dealing with a professional.  Once your item is posted, just sit back and wait for the emails.  You may get emails from people in all sorts of situations, from dealers to grandmothers.  It is up to you to decide how payment should be made and how your buyers will receive their items, whether it be picking them up from you, shipping to the buyer, or meeting in a busy area to exchange money and goods.

   To post your item from iTaggit onto Craigslist, simply click the Item Actions button, scroll down to the Publish This Item and click. This will take you to a page that allows you to generate HTML code, which is what you will need to post on Craigslist.  Click the orange Generate HTML button and you will see the previously blank text box beneath the button fill up with HTML code.  All you have to do at this point is copy this information and paste it into the text box for your Craigslist ad. The result is a beautiful and professional looking layout that is sure to attract the best buyers.

Here is an example of what your ad will look like:
