Need to Sell Off Your Things?

Perhaps you are in so much debt that you need to sell your belongings. Sometimes it's all people have left, and may give a glimmer of hope. You can sell your things by advertising on classified ads - but the newspapers are a hit or miss proposition. You usually have to spend a lot in newspaper advertising to get any results, and run the ads several times. It's tough to figure out the exact category to place the ads into - some people might look for such item in a certain are, others in a different area. If you are trying to sell things to cope, you can't afford to pay to advertise.

You might try a garage sale, but don't expect much profit. It costs money to set up in a flea market, though it is a god way to showcase what you have.

Online auctions and classifieds can work pretty well, if you target the right audience. There are many free classified advertising places on the Internet. I haven't found paid classifieds to work any better than the free ones, in all truth. Auctions should also be pretty stable to be effective - many have come and gone, causing people to waste a lot of time writing up their ads and bid, with no results. The best auction place is eBay, and the cost isn't bad - just make sure to have a very good write-up for your items, and be prepared to ship them. After all,
people will buy almost anything - just this week common snow from Colorado sold for $200.
