Craigslist is a free, expedient solution to transfer your unused gadgets or merchandise fast.
I like to recommend organising a staging area; a garage is perfect for this kind of thing. Any large gadgets that will be tough and expensive to ship can and ought to be offered on Craigslist.
1: At all times take an image, multiple is preferable. Folks like footage and you might be 85% extra likely to promote your merchandise if you embrace an image, use the digital camera in your cellphone if you have to. Take the picture in good mild and from a few different angles.
2: Stage your pictures. Nobody wants to purchase one thing that looks like it's sitting in a messy garage. On that very same note, clear your item up. The higher it seems, the extra $$ you will get.
three: Put up your gadgets on Tuesday and Saturday. You possibly can solely relist on Craigslist each three days so this offers you the most exposure. You want to be on the top of the web page early Saturday morning.
four: If in case you have a big item and do not want to take care of fielding a number of telephone calls and questions, my first strategy has all the time been to list my merchandise with image and a thorough description (yes...this means measurements...people need DETAIL) and say that the item shall be available for viewing on a particular day and time frame. First come, first serve.
This creates a sense of urgency and admittedly competitiveness about your item. It intimates that the merchandise is of explicit worth and that you just anticipate a substantial amount of interest within the item. An excellent time to do that is on a Saturday morning say between 8-10 a.m. You could finish with a bidding war occurring in your driveway! Cha-Ching.
The downside to this technique is that folks WILL SHOW UP EARLY. No doubt about it, so be ready for that. And if you publish your tackle straight away, there's a good probability they may show up DAYS EARLY wanting to have a look at your item. I used to be promoting an outdated utility trailer as soon as and had a gentleman show up at 9 p.m. the day BEFORE the sale just as I used to be making an attempt to get my kids settled down and in bed. Let's simply say he was not given the chance to buy the trailer. I used to be not a cheerful mama that night.
5: Try to avoid selling out of your house for smaller items. As a woman I just feel safer meeting somewhere and I believe quite a lot of female buyers feel the identical way. Include in your put up that you're glad to meet up with somebody and checklist the neighboring towns and/or areas you're keen to drive to. I have a tendency to choose grocery retailer parking tons or Starbucks since they're always busy and straightforward to find.
6: Compare your asking worth against what others are charging for comparable or like items on Craigslist. Try to price yours barely less than the going fee or throw in a freebie or bonus. When you happen to have something that goes w/ the merchandise you might be selling it will probably make the distinction between you getting the sale or someone else. As an example, I promote a number of gently used child garments and toys. I choose up baby hair bows filth low-cost at the Dollar Retailer and provides them away as a bonus w/ each of my items. Sometimes I am even charging a bit greater than my competition however my prospects feel like they're getting a better deal so they buy from me. Everyone likes to get something for free. The same concept works on eBay, I give away bonuses or routinely provide free shipping.
