Make Bucks by Selling Your Stuff

Have two Zenith hi low adjustment tables. One is pristine and the other with covering on the worn leather.

I use craigslist for everything. heard too many horror stories about ebay and paypal. I have been seller for a very long time one year I spent 1100 bucks on inventory and made 12000.00 so you have to know what sells and when to buy a good deal to make money. it is all in the description be honest tell them what is good about tell them what is wrong about it don't try to be slick. just be honest and you get a following.

I have used Craigslist to sell many things I simply no longer had use for. One thing that I noticed was that most items that I sold, I had received calls and or emails within minutes after first posting.. I also notice that when I did not get replies if I re posted a few days later i generally got calls then.I believe most people think that any posts 3 days and older are no longer available.Another tip I think you can;t stress enough is to be extremely cautious when buying or selling. Lastly another tip i would like to share is to Barter. A lot of the time you will end up getting something you have wanted very badly but just didn't want to spend the money on. It usually turns out to be a win win situation, Neither party ends up having to spend money and both parties end up having something they want.

This was a repeat from two weeks ago. Who monitors these ads ??? Obviously noone.

I have found most descriptions for most items on eBay these days to be lackluster. For certain items, like sports cards, they may not even give a description of the specific item, just "1956 Topps card," which they can use for a bunch of listings. C'mon, don't be so lazy. I'm a copywriter, and I believe an item with a thorough yet fun description really stands out from the rest. Selling an old toy? Tell a story about it. Selling something decorative? Give a couple of fun suggestions for it. Be creative! People DO want to read about items before they sink money into it, so if you have competition selling a similar item at a similar price and he/she has no description, you're going to win the sale. Trust me.

I sell hand-made items on ebay; bingo bags, cushions, some vintage items, hand-made baby quilts, wreaths, totes, etc. and have had some success, but find my time to make the items limited so I use it as a way to make a llittle extra money while having the fun of creating the items. I, too think the seller has a hard time with a pesky buyer now and then. I am careful to give as complete a description as I can and sometimes that is still not enough. Some buyers just want to be difficult.

We have sold stuff on E Bay at fair prices and have done well, Just remember, use Pay Pal, the best way to collect the payment.

EBAY is the WORST place to sell or buy anything. When it first began, it was great. Sellers made money and buyers were happy. Now though, it's just the opposite. Ebay treats their sellers horribly and the sellers are selling JUNK now. I gave up on Ebay and I use to sell and buy alot. There are many more web sites that are far better. Craigs List being one. I never buy EBAY junk again.

Type your comment herethe article leaves out some very important things that as a buyer i look for. price- i've noticed most sellers expect to get what they paid for an item new but are selling it used. that's just not realistic no matter what the item is. having proof that a luxury item is authentic is another thing as a buyer i look for. there are far too many fakes on ebay. i've seen sellers use fake receipts as "proof" of authenticity. as a buyer since most luxury brands won't authenticate an item purchased used make yourself aware of what the tags of an item should look like and if possible the receipts. go to stores and become familiar with them. another good tool as a buyer of any lux item is to compare on other websites- brand websites are best but if there isn't one use major stores for comparrison pics and stats. if anything in the listing doesn't match don't buy it's most likely fake

Try Craig's List and advertise in your local area. We have had very good luck with that so far.
