Unnecessary things have started to take a little more space than those necessary? You can tell them goodbye and at the same time earn (money or some advantages in karma). Here is an understandable detailed instruction without a single additional word.
STEP one. I want to sell everything
Enthusiasm is usually enough for a short time. In the morning “I will get rid of everything and immediately in a day” is easily transformed into the evening “I dismantled a shelf and re-pis of adolescent newspapers”. We will gradually go out to the exit.
Take a look and remember if the real flowers were in this blue vase in this blue vase. According to: When did you lit the wafflerier for the last time (on and did not have the dust)? Go around the house and find 5-7 other useless, boring and it is simply incomprehensible why bought things. Here are the first candidates at the start, we will start with them! Wash, wash, wash, stroke – in general, give them a presentation. When it goes (and the appetite comes during consumption), you will reach the cupboards, and to the shelves with books, and to the pantry, in which it is frightening to open the door.
Now the world should find out: you have something to offer. First of all, go to the discussions of the house or the district. People are quite lazy by nature, and picking up very necessary jeans or a tablet is easier for them in the next entry than going to half a city or order delivery.
Advertising – Continuation below
Second, create an advertisement on a specialized site. Let’s talk about this in more detail.
The second step. I want to be noticed
The competition on such sites is large, but the public is enormous. Here is what to take into account when you find a description:
- A good title reflects essence. Not “sell a blue vase”, but “blue vase 26 cm high of crystal”, not “laptop not working”, but “laptop Snake 15S2025 without hard drive for spare parts”.
- A fair price is the basis of success. Study the market and determine it. For new things, a reasonable discount is 20 to 30%, for the first use at 90%. In summer, they will offer less for a layer of fur than in winter, and with a swimsuit the opposite is true. If we are talking about antiques or a rare set of “Lego”, the price can be higher than the one on which you have once obtained these things. No one writes or vice versa overwhelmed by requests? So you have to sell cheaper or more expensive.
- The characteristics must be detailed, but not too much. Indicate the brand, the real measures and the composition of the blouse (but not the way you defended a diploma eight years ago). Does the waffle prepare breakfast in three minutes? Great. And about half a meter long, you cannot mention. A fashionable Japanese backlight is integrated into the aquarium, but it turned out to be small? We only report the first fact.
- Packaging, check and other documents hang confidence in the ad – and for you personally. No one expects you to stock up on the monitor’s box in the honorary corner of the room, but confirmation of the active warranty will speed up the sale. Record the boot of a brand bag and a check is your honorary duty. Selling branding things is generally difficult: people are afraid of counterfeits. But after the first successful transaction with the customer’s exam, trade will go quickly.
- Important defects or characteristics must also be indicated. The first edition of Harry Potter is a value for collectors, but a scratch of CAT claws on the cover must be photographed.
By the way, in photographs. They are important, especially if your product is not unique. The professional photographs of a studio mirror are not necessary – and an ordinary smartphone can be beautifully deleted (selfie in social networks proof of this!).
Choose a place with good light and a nice background in the apartment, better. Clear things are beautiful on black, darkness – on white, colored carpets and bed -beds do not decorate anyone.
If you sell clothes, it is better to remove it on a hanger or show it for more clarity (the latter applies to jewelry). You can find an official image of the catalog or the site where you have bought, but “live” photos are also necessary. All goods are preferred to shoot from different angles so that there are fewer questions. Light the technique and show that it works – of course, if this is the case.
Modify the images directly on the phone: Cut the excess, correct the light if the color of the thing is distorted. Has it worked or not? Take a photo again. For a multi-coloring night light or a flashing toy, you can shoot a short video afterwards.
Third step. I don’t want to take risks
And we understand you very well! There may also be crooks among potential buyers: therefore:
- During communication, do not go from a conversation to other sites, do not open the links and do not give the card number for early reimbursement;
- If they want to come to your home for your purchase, do not call the apartment number – and it is better to meet in the street or in a shopping center;
- Delivery, of course, widens the geography of sales, but in this case, use only the official service services – otherwise all the risks will be on you;
- You do not have to accept the thing if it did not correspond to the buyer after payment (and even more in a few days or weeks). You can recover a vase with a broken rose or a copy of a brand bag.
