This really bothered me for a while. I hated to just throw it away.
Nothing was wrong with it. So this is where I discovered something , a
way to get rid of my junk and still make a little money. Of course I
have always loved garage sales but sometimes the weather or time just
doesn't permit me to hold one
So I discovered Craigslist. It is a free local listing for Items you
may not want but someone else might. There are alot of people trying
to scam you on Craigslist so make sure you never except anything other
than cash. And be carefule where you meet them. GO to a public place.
I solved the problem of my clutter and Junk while making a few bucks
doing it
There's also this thing called ebay.
The only problem with ebay is it costs money and craigslist is free
Craigslist is great for heavy items (items too costly to mail) and/or
items that really need to be observed before buying (especially
electronics), but has a very limited field of potential buyers.
Conversely, eBay will take about 20% of the gross selling price, but it
provides a significantly greater field of potential buyers that
typically results in higher selling prices (usually more than enough to
offset the fees - provided the items are easily mailable).
Correct on both counts.
I've sold some things on Craig's List that aren't easily shipped, but
I'm not real thrilled the process. I always list my prices as firm,
cash only, with a requirement the item be picked up by the buyer.
Every time I'll hear from people who want to negotiate the price, want
me to deliver it, or want to pay with a check or money order (not
likely!). No shows for pickups, and tales of woe to get the price
knocked down once they do show up. I stick to my guns, and have sold
everything, but have had to jump through those hoops at least two or
three times on every listing. I've just about decided the hassle
isn't worth it, and will start donating that stuff to charity for the
tax deduction.
On the other hand I've found eBay to be seamless. I always set a
reasonable reserve, plus that 20% you mentioned. I accept only
PayPal, and ship only via USPS insured Priority Mail to confirmed U.S.
addresses. I also list all sales as final (no buyer's remorse) and
the only warranty I make is that it works when it arrives. So far,
I've sold everything, always for more than the reserve, a couple of
times by quite a bit. I've got nothing but satisfied buyers, and have
yet to have a problem.
If you're selling stuff that's in good condition, is usable for it's
intended purpose, and has enough value that you don't want to just
give it away, eBay is definitely the way to go.
