Self marketing - have you tried it?

I'm still pondering the possibility of self marketing and cutting out the agents altogether.
Mainly this is because a house two doors up which is basically the same as ours except they've converted two double bedrooms into three small bedrooms and added a conservatory is still on the market for a year at £205K, we would be around the £165K mark so am thinking people that have looked at their house and thought too much may consider ours.
Anyway, the upshot is I was wondering if there are people that have marketed themselves who could tell me what kind of response they had please?

Coming to the conclusion that trying to self sell is a complete waste of time...
