Obvioiusly the C&V market can be a bit fickle, but at least it is worth a try.
If you save $100 on shipping, you might get a good deal for both the buyer and seller.
As an example....
$800 'Buy Now' on Ebay = ~$630 in your pocket (10% fees $80 shipping). Advertise on CL for $675 and take $625.
When I sell on Ebay I work backwards. I decide how much I want in my pocket and then add shipping and fees to that number. If I want to walk with $1000 I'll add $80 for shipping then add $150 for fees to come up with a 'Buy Now' of ~$1250
