How I Deal With Relocation and Selling Items I Don't Need

posted on 27 August 2010 | posted in Home and Garden


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.
