Craigslist selling

[rc08234]

After reading some good posts on here, I've decided to start a small business that sells stuff for people, mostly on craigslist and I'll take a cut. The way it's going to work is I'm going to try to get them to go to my site, read about it i.e. percentages, how they get paid, and then fill out a form with their e-mail, location, phone number and just a general description of the item. Or have them call a number, and leave their name and number and I'll get back to them.

I do have a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with.
Does anyone know have any experiences with cheap phone numbers, not 800, that has an answering machine for relatively cheap? The reason I don't want an 800 number is because I don't want people seeing my sign or whatever and thinking it's so kind of ponzi scheme for fast cash.

Also, my county has about 270,000 people in it. How is the best way to target these people? I was thinking bandit signs, flyers at my wawa (convienet store) and maybe a few signs you stick in the ground by busy intersections. Any other tips or tricks?

Would you pay 50% of you item to have someone come pick up it, list it, sell it, and drop the cash back off?
Or maybe a price structure like
0-99 is 50%
101-499 is 35%
500+ is 25%
I'm not sure which will be more effective.

Any my last question is somewhat about ad copy. For the bandit signs and whatnot.
Something like?

Need Extra Cash?
Got Extra Stuff?
XXX-XXX-XXXX
www.XXXXX.com

Need extra $$$$?
Got Extra Stuff?
XXX-XXX-XXXX
www.XXXXX.com

Any and all help would be appreciated. Another guy had an interesting post about helping stores and stuff help sell extra inventory, maybe I should throw some signs in tryin to target that also?
