I'd vote for Craigslist ...
I've found local Craigslist a very effective way to
buy a guitar. I admit, that so far, I have not tried to sell one. To me, the local nature of Craigslist, in which you interact directly with the buyer/seller, with the ability to actually go and see/touch/examine/play the guitar in person makes for a much more comfortable experience than ordering something through the mail that may or may not live up to your expectations.
For me though, the downside of Craigslist for a seller may be that people shopping Craigslist are looking for the huge bargain and not an item demanding top-dollar.
Consignment might be a legit way to be free of the hassle, but it cvomes at a price since there is a fee associated with the transaction that you the seller will bear. Of course, this is true of E-bay as well.
