Poll – Which is the best way to sell up?
I wonder what people have found is the best way to sell on their unwanted stuff. I have a huge list now from car projects to r/c heli’s and am just
not sure which would be the best way. Just wondering what folk prefer these days. Obviously I want everything sold asap

I've advertised things on here and either they sell within minutes or they don't go at all. When I want junk, sorry valuable items, I buy
from eBay but I'd be careful about selling on there. If you've got lots of stuff to sell, just reckon on at least 1 thing going to a
scammer who wants his money back and just write it off.

I find things find their own price on ebay, sometimes it's a pleasant suprise, sometimes not.
I always find it difficult asking for a decent price on here, I've sold stuff on here and kicked myself later thinking how much I could've
got for it.
I sold an old knackered crossflow on ebay, I'd probably have asked for £30-40 on here, on ebay it went for £200.
99p, no reserve is my mantra, it draws the punters in

cheers good advice, I also don't like asking for too much on here either as everyone is out for a bargain and basically out to get things for a
tiny fraction of what it cost the seller

I'd say ebay too.
The problem with this site, by it's very nature, is, we all want something for feck all

The trick is to expose the advert to as many people as possible.
I would say that most people look on ebay for stuff. If you also post on forums that you are selling stuff on Ebay then that should cover off most of
the potential punters.
You might be lucky at a car boot sale or in the local paper bu they can be quite limited marketplaces.

ok well that’s pretty clear cut, looks like its all going on E-bay then. Can't stand haggling either, my attitude is if they can't afford
it don't bother me. I'll bare it in mind about the no reserve on smaller items. Let the bidding war commence! 
thanks guys

Mr Whippy, are you suggesting that this lot on here is looking to pay only fractions of what things cost the seller? That would imply a positive
number, say 1/16th or so. No, we are looking for FREE, if possible!!! Or we'll never get them done for 250 pounds.
