PLACES TO SELL YOUR THRIFTING FINDS
EBAYOne of the great advantages of eBay is that your items can be view and purchased from not only buyers in the USA but in countries all around the world. And you have an opportunity with ebay to list an item at auction or at a fixed price. The advantage of auctions is that when you find an item that will generate lots of interest and is desirable by more than one person, the bidding wars can begin and the price can rise. If the item is a good solid item, but may take a while to find the one person who sees the value and desires it, fixed price can often create a sale weeks or months after listing at perhaps a higher price if you are willing to wait.
Jason and Bryan HIGHLY recommend eBay as a worldwide marketplace for most items found while thrifting CRAIGSLISTThis site is wonderful for local sales, especially for larger items such as furniture and major appliances. Unlike other selling venues where the emphasis is on packaging and shipping the item, Craigslist is designed to meet-up with the buyer to exchange product for money on the spot. However, meeting people in person, can be a little frightening at times and you may want to consider using a service such as CheckInOn.Me to assist with safely making a connection.
While most transactions work out fine using Craigslist, even someone who has made an appointment and agreed to buy may not show up, or try to renegotiate in person. Lots of plusses though with the ability to list items for free and often have immediate responses and sales, without the worries of fees or feedback. Did you know you can place more than the basic four pictures in a Craigslist listing? Here's How!
