Facebook Marketplace is great for this type of thing. I know many HN'ers hate FB, but it's really easy to move stuff there. You definitely still get tire kickers, but like CL it's local, so you're not shipping.

I just moved cross country and was downsizing, so we put a bunch of stuff up on Marketplace, some free, some for money. The hardest part was communicating dimensions despite listing them specifically. People would show up with a compact SUV (CR-V/RAV4/etc.) to pick up a couch. I just shook my head. I would take about 3 pictures, no editing, write a 2 sentence description, put in the dimensions (if appropriate for the item) and generally within a day have it gone.

Note that I wasn't trying to make money, I just wanted to get rid of things, but that's probably not much different than CL, but could be different than listing things on ebay.

It's still probably not worth it time wise, but the stuff I was getting rid of was still in good shape and could be useful to somebody, so I'd prefer to have somebody get some use out of it instead of just throwing it away.
