Buying from Craigslist lets you see the equipment in person before buying it. And from the seller's point of view, it does away with all the work of packaging and mailing it (as well as the fees). But, in my experience at least, people usually sell things on Craigslist for less, sometimes much less, than they do on ebay. Robert On May 28, 2010, at 8:33 PM, J.
