If you have the time to sell on your own, do it. Most car dealers will tell you that is the best choice for yourself. But if you want haggle room on your new purchase, get your new(er) car quicker, have some sort of buyer protection you won't get from craigslist, then you use the dealer. No harm in that.

It's like remodeling your bathroom, you can save money doing it yourself, but if you want it done soon and up to code, more often than not; just pay a little extra to someone in the know to do it correctly.

Alcohol is more marked up than 50 to 80 %. It's more around 200 %
