If you still have unpacked boxes left over from your last move, most likely you no longer need these things. There are platforms for selling everything from bikes to cameras and cars. Whether you just want to get rid of unnecessary trash, or to finance a well-deserved vacation, there will always be buyers for whom your “garbage” will become their treasure. Here are some tips for quickly selling unnecessary items at the best price.
Take an inventory
Look at the items in the garage. You might think that you have nothing to sell, but it is worth starting to disassemble this warehouse, as there is certainly something unnecessary.
Check your cabinets, drawers and attic. People buy children's goods, small household appliances, auto parts, musical instruments, sports equipment, tires and video games. You will see, you will find many things for sale and you can use the proceeds to replenish your savings account.
Make sure the item sale site is free
Almost all ads for getting rid of certain material values are free. Nevertheless, there are categories that are not free, they usually include a message about the services. Car and real estate trade must also be paid. Previously, ads for cars and trucks were free, but now about three hundred rubles are charged for posting information.
If you sell tutoring services, expect to pay a small amount of money as well. If you want to get rid of a sofa, saxophone or an inflatable toy, then do not pay a single ruble.
Correct price
Obviously, the used item will not bring as much as a new one. The state of things is crucial, especially when it comes to categories such as furniture, toys and clothing. You won’t get much for outdated technology, such as a ten-year-old television, even if it is in excellent condition.
Browse through the Avito website and similar trading platforms to see what your product is for and what it really is worth at the moment. You can only slightly increase the price so that you can bargain. If you make the cost too low, then people will decide that something is wrong with the item.
Make the product look perfect
Be sure to clean your car before exhibiting it. Ads without pictures are usually ignored, so it’s worth demonstrating your product in the best possible light. No one is going to buy a dirty wheelchair with a wobbly wheel. Whatever you sell, remove all dust, dirt. If this, for example, is a bicycle, make the necessary repairs, inflate tires and paint it.
Have a good marketing job
Do not take pictures of the product if there is clutter in the background. Realtors put real estate in the best light to get a good price, and you should use the same approach. Therefore, clean as much as possible the area around the item you are selling before taking photographs of it.
Take pictures in a bright place. Shoot the subject from different angles and take many close-ups. You can add a ruler or an item so that customers understand its size. If you described a flaw in your ad, be sure to visually show it.
Choose the right category
As part of the sale of a product, it is important to correctly indicate the category of a thing, so that it is easier for customers to find it.Continue your ad with an eye-catching headline that contains as much information as possible, such as Nikon 8252 Binoculars. Use appropriate keywords or phrases such as “low mileage” or “never opened”. Even humor is a good marketing move.
An ad may state the functions of things that are best listed in bullet-list format. Name the price last to increase the chances of reading the entire description. Be completely honest in your advertising and images. Any transaction that you conclude will fail if there is damage or wear and tear that you have not mentioned.
Thus, if you have unnecessary things lying around in your house, you can easily sell them through an ad posted on the Internet and get profit. The main thing is to correctly compile it in order to increase the attractiveness of the product.
