I always end up low-balling myself lol.

  • price sufficiently lower compared to new
  • price higher to negotiate down from to actual price point

    Write down your current minimum, stick to it. You can review after a few days if there’s no interest.

    Be up front, show pictures of flaws or damage on the items.

    Respect people’s time. Keep the listing up to date. Try to learn from failed interactions and update the listing accordingly.

    Have an idea of how the item is getting to the buyer and how much that would cost. Prefer to meet in person in a well trafficked area when others will be around and there are cameras nearby that you can rely on in case of robbery. Inside a Starbucks, for example. If someone is resistant to meeting in a public place, reconsider doing business with them.

    Cash is king. Everything else can be clawed back if they scream “fraud!” Having flaws on the listing will give you a lot of power when someone tries to get the money back.
