Posting high dollar items on Craigslist would also open you up to potential crime.
Another concern with eBay and Amazon is returns - if a buyer is not happy with the product, or there is a quality issue, both tend to be VERY pro buyer, will force you to take the product back, one big hit could more than wipe out any potential gain.
