I'm looking to sell a set of rims and tires on Craigslist for local pickup only.

How does one post a picture on Craigslist? I have absolutely no knowledge of HTML or whatever it is they use. Also, I'm assuming bolding, italicizing, etc. commands are the same as the ones we use here.

Thanks.

watch out for fake money orders from foreign countries; ive seen them, they look very convincing.

be prepared for lots of flakes, u do get pictures on craigslist for free.

Can you PM me one of your listings? I have a laptop I'm looking to dump, but I'm also a CL noob.

I thought this was going to be a thread looking for advice on picking up women in Casual Encounters.

What's the make, model & size of the rims?

18" authentic BMW rims with Pirelli rubber (I think). I think one or two may have curb rash.

My brother in law gave them to me from his BMW since he was moving to Hawaii and I had a BMW. I decided to get an Infiniti and got rid of the BMW. Unfortunately, the rims don't fit and they are taking up space in my garage.

I'm not sure how much to ask for them. $400? $600?

Depends on what car they're for. Look at some BMW owners sites to get an idea on what to charge.
