It's hard to answer why people may not be buying your merchandise when we can't see the actual listings. I sell on Ebay and have 3 user ID's for different reasons and all of them have buyers. The thing that works for me is putting up plenty of pics for each item and a detailed, but not lengthy description. Put keywords in your title. You may want to try free advertising. For example, I use the auctionbump website to post my items so check that out. Also, create a blog and add a link to your items so you can attract people to your listings. I don't use craigslist these days because it seems like most people just want the stuff for free or they are looking to waste your time with advertising and scams. Try the site bonanza.com. It's free to post your items and the final value fees are lower than Ebay's. Good luck with everything. I hope things start selling for you.

There's the problem. If none of them are interested then chances are no one else is either.

For what kind of price? If you are asking new price you can forget it. Digital cameras are like cell phones, a new and better version comes out every six months. Walk into any wally world and look at the cameras. You will always see some on clearance that they are trying to get rid of because newer better ones are now available. If you are asking about half the original price and the camera is less than a year old you might sell it or might not.

I suggest you try a yard sale for baby clothes. Even then they may not sell. We see baby stuff every weekend at yard sales and there is always a large pile of them. Chances are they pack 3/4 of them back inside when the sale is done.
