Question Ebay or Craigslist? anyone use it for selling with any success for used car parts?

I know theres the "for sale" area here but I am curious about any success stories selling used parts using ebay? I am talking about used carbs, wheels, tires, shocks, misc.stuff such as side mirrors, chassis parts,Hedders,manifolds etc.

I went to Long Beach swap meet with a friend who had an extra spot and asked if I wanted it he said it was paid for and I could have it, I went and took what stuff I had (mainly stuff listed above) and I made $91.00 wow! if I would have had to pay for the spot and my gas I would have lost money! now granted I am not saying I have dynamite stuff but it is pretty clean and in good shape, there seemed to be alot of people there but they were keeping there hands pretty firmly in there pockets (economy?)

So we started talking about Ebay and craigslist and my buddy says he's probably done doing the swap meets and is going to do ebay instead, he only goes to L.B a couple times a year anyways, but this guy said a year ago he would never do that, but his son (tech wizz) has shown him a whole new arena.

I am just curious if anyone here sells parts like I have listed with any success? I did sell a set of Hedders for a 55 Chevy on craigslist awhile back for 50 bux! wooo hooo! other then that I have had very little success with Ebay/Internet.

lets hear the pros & cons of Ebay for Selling used car / performance parts.
