Craigslist vs. Kijiji
Monday, July 9, 2007
Recently, I had to get rid of some of our furniture and miscellaneous things. We seem to be drowning in "things" right now. My parents had such success selling off their goods from their old house online that I thought I would also give it a try. Usually, I'm a Craigslist fan. I am constantly trolling it for miscellaneous things that I don't need.
After weeks and weeks of posting and reposting, I had some interest but no bites. I then remembered that my dad had mentioned this lesser known site called Kijiji. It works on the same principles as Craigslist but since barely anyone I knew had heard of it, I was a little skeptical on it's rate of success.
Boy! Was I wrong! I basically sold everything I listed within 3 days of posting the ad. Most of the responses were seconds after I posted them. I do wonder why this site has proven to be more effective than Craigslist though. Regardless, I am happy to be rid of those things.
