This is a question specifically for msbelle, but is posed to anyone who feels any level of competency with selling things. (I feel no such competence, thus, the request)
Should a person like myself...okay, I...be in a position that requires putting a PLAN in place to sell most of my stuff...like in the event of a move...what are the best strategies?
This has been a huge challenge to me in the past and I just can't let it get me down anymore. Practicality demands turning stuff into cash!
By stuff, I mean books, vintage fine jewelry, vintage clothes, vintage decorative stuff, a Spin cycle, vintage postcards and travel slides, a few pieces of smallish furniture, and small appliances. The miscellaneous houseware stuff will go into a yard sale.
In the past, I have been completely intimidated by ebay, struck out on craigslist and have no idea which avenues are best for which type of item.
I need a game plan.
What has worked best for you? What would you avoid?
I'm going to be around until later this evening, but will be completely away from the computer Fri-Mon...working on the PLAN.
I would deeply, deeply appreciate email at profile addy with any specific suggestions.
I may have to. It seems that my landlord is moving to sell the building...and is being very cagey about it.
I figure it is better to be prepared than get caught out.
I have lived here for 12 years and have ZERO desire to move. At the same time, back in the days when I DID move, it was a great opportunity for off-loading.
I'm not a collector, so don't have that much, but what I DO have, I want to make the most of.
msbelle doesn't post in Bitches, bonny.
The other huge thing I learned is that I can't trust everyone I thought I could trust, so I'll be a lot more careful about talking about any of this at work. I'll vent here instead. Aren't you all lucky?
I'm in favor of pretty much anything that will bring you here at any given time. I am also in favor of everyone feeling safe to vent here, because that means it is ok for me, too. However, I'm not in favor of you feeling so stressed out. So thbbbbpt on the new teachers.
Pix, I'm really sorry to hear about the work politics. I was assistant head of a department for a while, which was a total politics nightmare, so I can relate. I hope it improves.
Huge yay for the job interview, smonster! Much interview~ma for the day itself.
Wedding Day #1 of 2. Today we do the legal bit (which isn't particularly romantic, but LGBT people in the UK did fight for the right to form civil partnerships, so yay that!), then our families meet (I may be sick). Should be an interesting day...! Happily, I have a hotel room with (another) massage and a manicure awaiting me in between.
Keep up the no-rain~ma! They've changed the forecast from thunderstorms to scattered showers, so it's working!
Happy legal civil partnership day, Seska! Woo!
I am 'in a civil partnership'. It was a fab little brief ceremony. It is not raining. I am going to the hotel to get my nails done and probably find vodka. I love The Girl! (Who has abandoned me to set up the site for tomorrow!)
