mostly on Craigslist cuz I found Facebook brought out more scammers than CL. I was only marginally successful. There's sooooo much stuff for sale it's stunning! I had a barely used 11-cup food processor & there were at least seven other ones at the same time, the same size or larger, slightly more used. China, same thing. There's so much china for sale it's amazing. IMO it's total luck to find the person who likes & wants your pattern. I ended up giving most of my stuff away to a group of people in need, & a big cake taker was one item, & she was so happy to get it!
