I work in the private sector and get transferred every two years. So I have quite a bit of experience of selling second hand items! Before leaving for the new place of posting, I collect all the used products that are in working conditions and put them on sale - from cushion covers to white goods.
It is very difficult at first to get the things sold. Friends and relatives already have the products so they are least bothered and time for me is normally very less to advertise it and sell the items. So I put it in scroll writing on the local cable channel about the products I am going to sell with a price tag. Sometimes I have to also write that the prices are negotiable on visiting and having a look at the products. Normally I sell all the second hand products but the amount I get from it is usually a lot less. Paintings are really the only product that fetches well. |

I think the enthusiasm that one is moving to a new locality or area makes it easier but the shifting process is very difficult. The process is very tedious as the packers and movers are called to give a quotation of how much they will be charging. After that, on a particular date they are called and they pack up the things, load it and unpack it on the desired location. It is always better to bubble wrap the crockery before the packers are handed over the charge. Each container is marked with a number and address of the destination and these are noted down in a notebook for ready reference with the number and the items that the container contains. Then on reaching the destination it becomes very easy to locate the things and the packet that should be opened first. I have experience of shifting places as I am in a transferable job. Finally, before you start unpacking, consider the kinds of jobs that may be easy to do while everything is still in packaging - Fitted kitchens installations etc can be easier when the kitchen is empty! |
