Part of what attracts people to places like craigslist/gumtree is that you do it all yourself, though - it's easy to just take a couple of photos and provide a few details to advertise a car or house sale without a third party. If I wanted to have professionals take care of it I'd go to a sales garage or an estate agent.

People do it themselves because the garage or agent charges a fee. I'm saying that to tackle an incumbent, you could offer that service (and better) for free to win customers across.

I disagree that it's easy to take decent photos and then deal with a sales process (fielding calls, negotiating, etc). I have dozens of things I could sell but don't because it's too much effort and I don't have time.
