Instructions
1. Visit the Craigslist Web site. Look on the right side of your screen and find the location columns. Search for your state or country and click on the appropriate link. After clicking on a link, you may have to select the closest city. If so, find the city nearest you and click on the link.
2. Click on the "Post to Classifieds" link found under the word Craigslist at the top of the page.
3. Look for a list of posting categories. Choose the category that best suits your post and click on the appropriate link. Since you want to sell something, click on the "For Sale / Wanted" link.
4. Click on the category that best suits what you are selling. If you do not see a category that includes the item you wish to advertise, return to the last step by pressing the back button on your browser, and try a different category.
5. Type your posting title and item description in the dialog boxes that appear on the screen. Include the price, the location and your email address. Click on the continue button at the bottom of the page.
