How to Price your Items to Sell Fast & Make a Profit on Craigslist
You should keep in mind the following things in order to sell items fast and earn amazing profits:
1. Set a realistic price.
While setting the price, keep in mind that irrespective of the condition of your product, unused, box-packed or new, you would NOT get the complete price. In case you want to sell it quickly, chances of even reaching close to the complete price are remote.
The one and foremost guarantee of your product being sold quickly is its reasonable price. Few things you should consider while setting the price of your product can be:
• What would be the cost of this item in garage sales
• Check the demand of product you are planning to sell
• Search other listings/portals like eBay etc. to check the pricing of same product
After considering all the aforementioned pointers you would be able to set an appropriate price.
2. Provide a detailed description.
As mentioned in chapter# 2 as well, a quality description is something which works as a salesperson when you are not there to physically describe your item.
All the details specified in this chapter would give wings to your product. More the information you include, lesser the emails you would receive. You would also make it very convenient for the prospective buyers to take a decision.
Also, do not forget to include at least 2- 3 good quality pictures. If you can include more that would be an added advantage.
3. Sell your item to the first buyer with cash in hand.
You should remember that your reason for being on this site is to sell and earn profits and not to socialize. So you can take the liberty of being bit disloyal to prospective buyers.
Rather than giving priority to someone who emailed you first, you may scan all your emails and may give it to someone who can pick it first. In this way you would have your cash and buyer would have his product in no time. This would also ensure that you are not holding the product for such a long time for someone who is indecisive.
