    CL is handy if you are close enough to a large enough market for them to come out and look at and/or get it. If it runs and drives, albeit with a battery drain, someone will buy it. If you have scrap price in it, or just over, offer it for double as a fixer until you have time to fix it. If it doesn't sell before you fix it (and it probably will), up the price once its ready to go. Either way, you come out ahead. Most of the people I know who think CL is a pain, don't like to take phone calls about what they're selling and take the time with the dumbies, tire kickers, and low ballers to get the serious buyers. I have more than one friend who gives me stuff to sell, or will give me a cut to sell things for them because they just don't want to deal with it. If you are not one of those people that don't want to deal with it, take 8 good pictures (always take pictures of what you are selling), put up an ad, and let it be out there while you are trying to figure out what to do with it. Worst case, it doesn't sell which puts you in the same boat you are in right now. Or, it sells and you don't have to worry about it.

    As far as finding an honest go-getter to go half-sies with, they are usually busy already goin and gettin it. Keep your eyes open, sometimes they are lookin for a side job because they don't know how to take a break!
