    steel sheet

    bout 5'6" by 4" by about less than 1/2cm thick
    I figure if a piece of plywood sells for 20 bucks, so this has to be worth some money as well

    just dont know who to sell it too... been sitting in my for sale craigslist add forever for 35bucks... too much/too little? any tags i should add to the bottom of the ad?

    Buddy, you ask ALOT of questions!

    Thats great! But dont overload us . Most of the time we just got done workin', come on here to see whats shakin', then go to bed. When we're tired we're not gonna want to answer 5,000 questions.

    I mean that all in the best way possible

    And about the steel sheet....Hmm. I was going to say CL, but you've already done that. Have you thought about goin to the local construction supply stores? Im sure you could find something similiar, if not exact to what you have, and go off that.

    Good luck, and welcome aboard! We're nice folk around here, just talk reallll slow.

    If I put something on CL and it doesn't sell after re-listing once, it's headed for the scrap yard. I've had several things I figured were worth something but the general public didn't seem to think so.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Similar to what Mick said for all my stuff whether scrap or other stuff...
    -Post on craiglist for fair price
    -Drop price every few days until it get's to scrap value
    -Scrap it or take to Goodwill if it's not scrapable

    Try some other sections of Clist like Autoparts(floorpan or other sheetmetal work on car), Materials(you probably have it there), General, RV(trailer repair), Farm and Garden. Sit down with a pen and paper and brain storm a list of keywords and put them at the bottom of all the adds you post.
