    Yes, I think you have the right idea. I restock when I can whether it's curbside, garage/estate sales, auctions and then post stuff to Ebay or Craiglist depending what the item is. If the item has run its coarse by trying to sell, then it gets scrapped or donated. When posting stuff on Craigslist start at the optimum value you hope to get and each time you renew the item(every 48 hrs) drop the price till sold or scrapped. I try to post or renew when I think people will be looking from work like mid morning or lunch time and on the weekends mid morning. Take the email option out of your posts to eliminate spam, I deal with phone numbers only and prefer text so I can muli-task better. Also, use Photo Bucket or some other pic host for better, larger pics in your posts rather then the Craigslist pic upload. And Linda please be careful when dealing with Craigslist folks...it just takes one bad apple. Here's an example of one of my posts.
