Adding a picture really is a must, it's well proven ads with pictures generate more sales. Remember to have good contact details, add a link to your website.

if unsure then post in several. Craigslist updates everyday, so you need to keep your add refreshed by reposting where possible everyday, this will ensure your ad is always out front. Your ad will be deleted by Craigslist after seven days, but it's advisable when reposting to delete the old ad yourself.
