Marketplace, which is quick and
easy to use, hence it’s sudden
increase in popularity.
Product specific sites - One
strategy to earn more cash for
your items is to use sites that
specialize in the items you are
hoping to sell. If you are selling
electronics, you may choose to
use sites like Gazelle.com,
gizmogul.com, or
buybackworld.com, which
specialize in buying back new
and used electronics. Similarly,
if you are selling clothing you
may choose to use sites like
Thredup, Tradesy, or the Real
Real to cater to customers who
wish to buy clothes.
Using product specifics sites
may be a useful strategy when
you are selling high end or
brand new items. For generic
brand items or well-used items,
you are probably better served
selling them through one of the
do-it-yourself platforms.
Please note, any websites and
online marketplaces mentioned

For centuries, the marketplace
has been a central hub of
buying and selling. The same is
true still today, although the
nature of the marketplace has
changed. The marketplace is
shifting from brick and mortar
type stores to online buying and
selling. The US Census Bureau
reported nearly $395 billion in e
-commerce sales in 2016. Many
consumers enjoy the
convenience of online shopping.
However, have you considered
using online marketplaces to
sell your unwanted or extra
household items? If you already
sell items at a consignment
store or consignment sales -
selling online may be less
expensive and provide
additional access to customers.
Deciding what to sell - The first
step in selling online is
establishing what you do and do
not want to sell. Purge your
home of unwanted or unused
items. It can be helpful to apply
the one year rule: If you
haven’t used an items in over a
year, then you probably don’t
need it.
Pricing your items - Next, begin
thinking about the value of the
items you have decided to sell.
Be realistic about the value of
your items. Selling online
provides you increased access
to customers but it also
increases your competition.
Consider what you would be
willing to pay for a like item in
similar condition. Search online
to find the retail value of your
items in both new and used
condition to help you make an
informed decision about pricing.
Brand names typically hold their
value longer than generic
brands and electronics arguably
lose value the fastest because
technology changes rapidly and
your item may be outdated.
Decided where to sell - When
you have decided how to price
your items, it is time to
determine the appropriate
online selling platform. In the
digital age, there are many
online options and each serves
a similar but slightly different
purpose.
Online marketplaces - First,
consider a third-party online
marketplace, such as EBay or
Amazon. The advantage to
selling on these platforms is
that they may increase your
likelihood of selling items
because they are high traffic
websites. However, third party
vendors tend to have
marketplace fees which will
reduce your profit. If you do
not have enough profit-margin
to use a third-party vender,
then you may want to consider
a more do-it-yourself site, such
as Craigslist or Facebook
Marketplace. Although they
require more work on your end,
these sites may result in a
quicker sale of your items. This
is especially true of Facebook
