Can you sell a toilet on Craigslist?

The downstairs toilet in our place was never a great flusher... Adding to this was the fact that there was a very slow leak in the flapper. You could stop it temporarily by oiling the gasket and flapper but eventually the leaking / filling cycle would begin again.

It was an American Standard toilet that was perhaps made more for looks rather than functionality.



I'd finally had enough so replaced it with my favorite toilet... the Toto. If you aren't familiar with Toto it is one of the classic "flush and walk away" types of toilets.

Anyway - rather than loading the old crapper into the landfill I wondered if there was a market for used toilets on Craigslist so posted an add..fully disclosing the flapper should be replaced of course. I priced the toilet to move... $20. Afer about a week I got the call. Someone was interested so we met in front of Home Depot and did the exchange.

And the question is answered. Indeed you can sell a toilet on Craigslist.
