There are many ways to sell your things, but there is a right way to do things and a wrong way. In this post we will discuss various channels of selling things, the method of delivery involved in getting the item to the person, and the result compensation.
First you must consider what you are selling, is it conventional, or even possible to ship this item to somebodies home/business? If the answer is yes, consider registering for an ebay account if you have not already.
eBay, created in 1995, is a consumer to consumer selling site that is used to sell millions of items, worldwide, daily. Signup is free, and it is free to list any item, however ebay will charge you a minimal fee if your item successfully sells. After your item is sold, you package it and bring it to the post office where you ask for a delivery confirmation number to allow you to see when the item is delivered. Members are ranked by feedback, positive negative or neutral, which are given after every purchase/sale.
For those who prefer person to person sales, or have items for sale that would not be of conventional means to ship, there are also several other options available.
Have you considered an old school garage sale? that's right gather your belongings and place them out on your lawn with tags indicating the price, advertise flyers in nearby business and on telephone poles days before to allow many people to know about your garage sale. Post your garage sale on craigslist.org and garagesalestracker.com for maximum turnout.
Pawn stores are also great places to sell almost anything from household items to electronics to gift cards, but may not be the best source of $ because they are in it to resell the items for a profit... instead why not consider selling your item directly to a customer on craigslist.
Craigslist is a website that people make listings based on the category of the item they are trying to sell. fields include Title, Price, Location, Description, and Photos. you pretty much tell it how it is on craigslist, you can tell people to call your phone number and meet you at your house, or go arrange to go to there house/public spot. Being in control of your sale/purchase is the main important thing to ensure a succesful sale. Never meet in a location that you do not feel safe going to and do not accept any other payment beside cash on craigslist
