I have actually mailed a couple of things or received a couple of things through Craigslist from people who live an hour or so away from Kansas City. I actually just got my pair of Robeez that way. The lady lived about 40 minutes from me so I asked her if she would just mail them to me and she did. It only cost $1.32 to mail. You still won't have any fees, or waiting periods, or auctions to deal with. It is always worth a shot.
Another thing you might try to do is go to Ebays "Want It Now" section. That is where people post things that they are wanting to buy. I went on there and saw a lady wanting a Nautica Comforter, so I emailed her and sold it to her. I actually bypassed the whole ebay auctioning thing that way, and we did the transactions on our own through PayPal.
GOod luck!
