I have always sold cars privatley up until about a year ago when I traded my Civic in for a Subaru. Selling privately has always been a pain in my butt and I got sick of dealing with the no shows and the people trying to get the price down and everything I just took a little bite and traded it to the dealer. One word of advice I got for you though is to tell people you will not hold the car unless they put like $200 down. Also make sure everything is in writing. Like tell them you will hold it for a couple days for $200 but if they don't come to get it it is going back for sale and you are keeping their $200 and make sure it is in writing.
