that's why you make the buyer pay for shipping. Find out what your item weighs after you package it up, and then check shipping costs either www.usps.gov, or for big items, use UPS. The local stores for dropoff are called the UPS Store. You can check their shipping costs at www.theupsstore.com

Classifieds here are free, and try Iship.com. You can find the cheapest place to ship each item. Dropping the stuff off at the post office or the UPS terminal really cuts the costs. Places that ship UPS like box stores or little places in the mall usually double or triple the costs. A radio, just for example, can be shipped anywhere in the 48 states for about 8 bucks.
Tires, whole rear ends and full size seats are the only thing that really costs lot to ship.
Although if you can send them from work or another place that has regular UPS shipping, a seat can be shipped for about 40 bucks. Greyhound will ship a seat for 70 bucks.

There are no pictures in the classifeds, but if you have a web page you can put the pics there and put a link to it in the ad.
Lots of good deals in the ads here.

E-mail me if you want more info. I do a lot of e-baying, ads here, etc. both buy and sell and I can possibly help you since I suspect you don't do this very much.
This will probably be moved to general or something soon anyway as it is not really 'new model' specific.
Have a great one.
Chris
