Gotta move to NY, and need to sell everything, I'm having a garage sale, but I don't want to sell my $1000 mattress for 20 bucks. Anyone got any ideas? It's gotta go fast.

Try Craigslist.com It's a fabulous place to sell things and completely free and uncomplicated. The only thing is that your ad is only up for seven days and the most recent ads appear on top. So, for best results you should repost your ad every 2-3 days (for the most visibility). You could also try the recycler (newspaper ... I think they're on-line now too), the Pennysaver (periodical that shows up in your mailbox) or the local newspaper(s). Depending on how much you want for it you could also try placing an ad at your local college campuses. Good luck!!!

Most people don't want to buy used mattresses because of hygiene issues.
If it's "gotta go fast", sell it for $20 and be happy it's gone.
You might consider calling homeless or abuse shelters and see it they can use it. Then you can hopefully deduct as charity on your taxes.

Put an add in the paper asap. If all else fails give it away to someone who really needs it. That is better than money (though I would have a hard time giving away my Kings Down mattress that i LOVE so much).

Donate it to the Salvation Army or Goodwill Industries or some other legitmate charity, Get a receipt, fill in the value and deduct it from your taxes. They will usually do pick up.

Let the Salvation Army sell it for you. I am sure they could get $25 instead of $20.

You can sell it on ebay. Just photoshop the pee stains out first.
