How to make the most of online classifieds
I was trying to sell my outdoor set some time back and decided to post everything online instead of having a yard sale. Your first move when selling online is to get a list together of everything you want to offer. Get a few photos of your stuff so people can see exactly what you have to offer. Photos are your best friend - they tell people whether your stuff is in good shape or not.
Now that we've handled these items, let's start posting online!
Free online classified sites are pretty commonplace these days, so I don't think I need to tell you exactly which sites to look out for. You should take some time when writing a description for your ad, otherwise people may not take a lot of interest in it. Would you call someone if they posted an item for sale without any pictures and without any descriptions? Most likely you would skip it.
Outside of the description, pricing is going to be your next big thing to think about. You may feel the urge to try and get the most out of your product, so the question on pricing really comes down to supply and demand. Keep a level head about what you can really expect to sell for, otherwise you'll price it too high and no one will be interested. It's always helpful to search other similar items to see what they sell for.
