I have my 38mm Aluminum Sport with blue band on both eBay and Craigslist. The eBay auction is up to $455 with an hour to go.

I was sent an offer from Craigslist: $450 cash

Obviously, the Craigslist offer is better. No fees, no post office, no stress, but in the next hour, there could be more bids as there 104 views and 4 watchers.

What would you suggest? I can still cancel the auction, but I was hoping for a little more than $71 profit.

Craigslist all the way.

I believe that if someone buys it on eBay, uses it for a week or even more and then claims that he wants a refund because it isn't working well, you are stuck.

Canceling the auction would make you not a particularly reputable seller. You don't do something like that to your bidders.

Go ahead and accept what you get on eBay.

You will get charged what it would have sold at I think. I would do CL honestly

I just sold my 38 space grey on eBay that I used for three days for 550. That's what I pocketed after fees and shipping
