How did you sell your car?

Okay, so my car has been on the market for about 1.5 weeks now. A few calls yes, but people usually withdraw after hearing it's a 5-speed.

I've got it listed online (see sig) and have placed ads in AT's FS/FT forum, Mazda3forums.com, ATL Craigslist, the local paper, and the city paper (AJC).

Any ideas on what else I can do short of lowering the price or selling to a CARMAX, Dealership, etc.? I know the latter would rape me.
 
I just left it sitting in my driveway, and waitied until someone asked me about it. I really didn't want/need the pressure of selling the car, so I let it come to me. It sold about 3 months after I took it off the road.

$710 - for an 18 year old car that wasn't running, I thought it was fair 😛
Although, it didn't hurt that it was a rare, kind of hard-to-find car with a really good body.

Kind of. The guy came from ~150 miles away with his own truck / trailer to get it.
 
Autotrader unlimited listing where it will stay up until you sell it.

It took me 3 weeks to sell my 1999 Chevy Malibu. Not a sexy car or very desired car, but there will always be a buyer. I managed to sell my car near dealer retail price to a sucker, but ymmv.
