Online classified ads have rendered the garage sale obsolete. For the computer not-so-savvy, an online classifieds site can be intimidating; especially those who fear online sales and the web in general. Yet, as people increasingly begin to gain trust with using the internet to buy and sell products, they are finding that it can be a beneficial and time saving experience.

If you are looking for a specific product, online classified ads can be searched to quickly uncover the particular product brand or model number. Or, if you are simply looking for a general product, comprehensive product categories can be browsed to find the best deals. Unlike online auction sites, you don't have to worry about being outbid in the last minute, or become unsatisfied with a product you purchase without seeing. Using online classified ads, you can visit the seller locally to see if the product works for you and is in the condition that you expected. After all, good condition is relative, and usually differs some from buyer to seller. When you purchase from an online auction, you don't find out until it is already purchased and shipped to ...
... your door.

The convenience of a local buyer also means the transactions can happen quickly. When a seller is in your hometown, you don't only save money in shipping and tax, you save time as you can find an item, go see it, and purchase the product all in the same day. Many people are surprised with how quickly they are able to find products that they want for a much lower price than they could new from a store. Plus, online classifieds often include as-new or brand new items that are given as gifts and not used or often even unopened. I recently purchased a camera from an online classifieds that was brand new and unopened at around 40 percent less than I would have paid from a store.

People are also often surprised with how quickly they can sell their used merchandise with online classified ads. As they often say, one man's trash is another man's treasure, and nowhere is this more apparent than at online classified sites. I recently talked to a retired couple who had just moved into a smaller house and needed to sell some of their furniture. They posted their couch in an online classified and it was sold within an hour for more money than they ever expected to get. They were apprehensive at first having never used the medium before, however the experience was so positive; they sold several other pieces furniture with similar results.
