This year, April 12 is Clean Thursday. On this day, it is customary to put things in order in the house, clean and wash everything.
And if your mezzanines are still gathering dust with unnecessary old things that should be thrown away, but it’s a pity, urgently read this article and you will find out what to do with them for your own benefit!
First, do not store.
Make it a rule that you don't need an item that you haven't worn in over a year. Don't store things for when you lose weight, gain weight, or go to work. When that happens, buy yourself a new one as a reward!
According to Feng Shui, negative Sha energy accumulates in old things. It is this energy that does not let wealth and prosperity into our house. Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, old unnecessary things should be replaced by new ones: beautiful and fashionable. If you don’t believe in all sorts of “high matters”, just remember the mass of dust that old things accumulate, plus old woolen things are just a storehouse for moths.
Therefore, boldly into battle - to dismantle cabinets and shelves!
Secondly, do not rush things immediately to the trash.
So, the cabinets are dismantled. And before you lie your riches. Sort all the clothes into two parts: good things, and those that can only be thrown away. Great things can be safely presented to someone from relatives and acquaintances. Or sell. The bad ones are thrown in the trash. As an option - donate to any charity center. Just remember to prepare things - wash and iron.
I'll start with the good news - in order to sell, you do not need to run around to glue ads on the fences. Although this method of advertising is widely used even in our age of technology. Used things can be offered to friends, children's suits - to neighbors' mothers in the yard. If you don't want to sell in person, take your item to a consignment shop.
But I like the sale "without leaving the computer." All that is needed for this is city sites with a bulletin board. In the vast majority of cases, all Internet flea markets are free.
In our house most of all accumulated children's things. It is understandable, children grow up, things are bought very often. I will share with you some secrets on how to quickly sell the same children's clothes. Although all my advice can be applied to the adult range.
Secret number 1. Photo! Many sites have a feature to only show ads with a picture. So, by posting an ad without a photo, you automatically lose certain number potential buyers. Ideally, the picture should be of good quality and not one. Dirty muddy photos only hurt the sale.
Do general form, and then some details: embroidery, sticker, possible defect, etc. If it is absolutely impossible to take a photo, look for an analogue on the network and copy the image.
Secret number 2. Description. It seems that there is nothing easier than writing ad text. And yet, very often there is no indication of size or price. But there are a lot of common words: “beautiful jacket”, “outfit for a real princess”, etc. The concept of beauty is different for everyone, so try to miss loud epithets, and instead of them write the real characteristics of the product. For example, “I will sell an elegant silk dress, height ..., total length of the product ..., color ..., manufacturer ... Excellent condition, used 2 times. Price. You can specify the area and the possibility of delivery. The main rule for any descriptions - write correctly! If you are not able to write a competent text - copy the description of the model from the manufacturer's website. Transfer foreign sizes to the Russian analogue, or at least specify what height / age is suitable for. If the item was not purchased in Russia, indicate the place of purchase, buyers are usually attracted by the wording "Brand clothes from Europe."
Secret number 3. Price.
Usually, used items sell for half the price of a new one. If in doubt, look for analog ads or use the Yandex market. In extreme cases, write that you are ready to give in for the price offered by the buyer.
You can play with the price in different ways. Starting from banal bargaining and ending with real promotions: "only today two things for the price of one" or "a bag of dowry for a newborn for your price." It is more than appropriate to write how much the thing was bought for.
Secret number 4. Exchange. Many mothers will gladly change the size 98 winter overalls to 104. And the sled - to the stroller. Think about what you can change this little thing for and feel free to write about it. Let me also remind you about specialized exchange sites, when some trifle can eventually be exchanged for something worthwhile for you.
Secret number 5. Bonus. Often, a scarf or panama can be offered for a dress. T-shirt with shorts. Make the price a little higher, but offer a gift with the purchase. This works too.
If you stubbornly fail to sell something, try applying secret number 6. I'll give it as a gift. Many pretty good things are often given away for free. Although there is also a trick here. It seems like for nothing, but at the same moment: “for a chocolate bar”, “for a kinder surprise” or “juice package”.
I honestly gave away things for nothing. But in the ad she wrote that I would be grateful for a few apples or bananas. That is, if they had not brought fruit, I would have given it anyway. Nevertheless, apples were brought by absolutely all the “gifted”. And everyone was happy. If you do not want to carry things that are donated by yourself, be sure to write: "pickup from such and such an area."
Secret number 7. Honesty. No matter how much you want to sell something, don't lie. Do not write "new condition" if you know that the skirt is heavily worn. All defects are easily detected.
It's not just sellers who cheat though. One day, a very respectable-looking lady came to me, who, with sobs in her voice, said that on the way to me she dropped into a pharmacy and urgently spent all the money there on a child. She wanted to pick up the suit and bring the money in the evening. I did not agree, although everything looked very convincing.
Vigilance when selling things will not hurt you. Do not give them to "try on" - "try" without payment. You can never wait for her. And in the case of buying things from hand - carefully inspect it, study the markings. And buy only if you are satisfied with everything.
Good luck with your sales and purchases!
During life, each person "acquires" one or another number of things. Necessary and not very, they accumulate, occupying living space, and create a feeling of tightness, stuffiness, clutter. It is worth getting rid of unnecessary things on time and with a pure heart, until they buried all the inhabitants of the dwelling under them.
The point here, by the way, is not only the need to make room for new acquisitions. Old things bear the imprint of the past, loaded psychologically and "slow down" the onset of change. That's what the Chinese think. And not only them: in some countries there is a tradition to New Year throw away everything unnecessary. "Decluttering" is really useful. The therapeutic effect of home cleansing is comparable to a change of image, rearrangement or a short trip. True, for this you need to carry out a radical cleaning of the nest.
It is much easier and more correct to get rid of unnecessary things systematically and little by little.
Throwing out frankly “trash” is not difficult, but what about functional things that no longer have a place in your home, but which can serve for many more years? It's really a shame to throw things like that away. The smart way out is to find a new owner for them.
How to do this without spending a lot of time, effort, nerves, and get a legitimate reward - the site will tell.
There are different options for getting rid of unnecessary things:
- Give to charity. The little things of the child, for example, should be taken to the orphanage.
- Send to the "link" to the cottage. A reasonable enough option, but there is a risk that things will roam to the dacha non-stop and the clutter problem will simply change the place of deployment.
- Give as a gift to relatives, friends, friends of friends or just acquaintances. It's simple and noble. But most of the time it's free. As a reward, you receive either a symbolic gift or moral satisfaction from a good deed.
- Sell to relatives, friends, etc. Far from being as noble as giving away as a gift. At least, deep down, almost every happy owner of used things will think so.
- Sell over the Internet. Perhaps the most effective solution Problems. With the help of online ads, you can sell anything and get back at least part of the original cost of the item.
What can be sold online?
The above phrase "sell anything" sounds rather vague. Let's get specific. The following categories of goods are sold well on the Internet:
Mobile phones, accessories and spare parts for them;
Cameras - from "reflex cameras" to "soap dishes";
Laptops, computers and their components, other home office equipment;
Clothing - adult, children's, dog;
Baby baths, walkers, changing tables, strollers and other items from this series;
Household appliances in working order;
Furniture, even old, will definitely come in handy for someone.
Choose a site to place your ad.Mediation services between the seller and the buyer are provided by avito.ru, Irr.ru, youla.io. If you know others, please share in the comments. Groups can be used in social networks. Look for communities such as "flea market", "sell cheap" and substitute the name of your city in the query.
Decide on a price. When pricing, keep in mind that when buying a used item, people pursue one goal - to save money. Want to sell fast? Set the real price, not the shop price. Tip: look at similar offers on the site and build on the information received. Competitor analysis will help you in writing the text of the ad.
Try to be descriptive: indicate the size, degree of wear, defects, if any. Do not hide the shortcomings you know you know - this way you will narrow the circle of potential customers to those who are truly interested. And, at the same time, save both parties from unpleasant disappointments.
Write a clear title that reflects the essence of the ad. You should not be too original, otherwise many people will not understand what exactly you are offering and will simply “pass” by.
Stand out from the crowd. In the previous paragraph, we wrote that you should not be too smart with the title. But you don't have to go down the drain either. Show healthy creativity that won't come at the expense of clarity.
Take quality photos. Ideally, your ad should include a photo from multiple angles and, close-up, - labels and stickers containing key information about the product. You should always remember that in sales via the Internet, the main thing is a beautiful picture.
Place an ad and do not even hesitate, there is a buyer for every thing.
Sell old things via the Internet: organizational issues and the human factor
By placing an advertisement for the sale, you start the mechanism of trade, and any trade is a human relationship. Even venerable online stores cannot completely depersonalize the process of communication between the seller and the buyer. You also have to communicate directly with each interested citizen. It is important to tune in to communication in advance and be prepared for the following points:
You will be asked for a discount. Almost always. Decide in advance which maximum discount you are ready to do and do not deviate from the intended. Do not get lost and stay firm, even if the buyer will talk about his unfortunate fate and a sick dog.
They will try to make you feel guilty.“And here is a scratch, but you didn’t say about it”, “but the coat is faded, not the same as in the photo ...”, etc. If you made an ad in good faith, then such claims are not justified, they are a kind of bargaining and refer us to the first point.
You will be asked to bring things "home". In dealing with certain types of customers, sometimes it seems that they are doing you a favor. This is quite unpleasant, but such shots will probably come across more than once. “Turn on the armadillo” and insist on a meeting format that is convenient for you. Of course, there are exceptional cases when you can make concessions, but all attempts at pressure and manipulation must be nipped in the bud.
What needs to be agreed in advance
Even the most profitable deal for both parties can turn into a disaster if important things such as the method of delivery and shipping fees are not agreed in advance. Decide for yourself whether you want to be involved with the shipment of the goods and discuss whose wallet it will be paid from. A common practice is when expenses are divided in half. Any movements in the direction of the forwarding point begin to be carried out only after prepayment.
Delivery of large items, such as furniture, requires the involvement of a third party. If your husband is an altruist and owner of a Gazelle car, has a lot of free time, remarkable physical strength, or a couple of loader friends, then you probably won’t have any trouble bringing a sofa to a buyer. And if not? Always insist on pickup. Let the buyer decide for himself who, how and for how much will deliver the purchase to the address.
Ask to bring the amount of money for settlement.
Part with unnecessary things without regret. Your home will benefit from this, but always weigh your decision carefully. You should not sell family values (we are not talking about jewelry). For example, getting rid of a bear made by your great-grandmother and passed down from generation to generation is criminal. But don’t fall into excessive sentimentality either - a dress from the best vacation in your life, which now only fits on your leg, is definitely not worth keeping. Good luck with your sales and adequate buyers!
Very often people are faced with a situation where there are too many old things. As a rule, these things are already unnecessary. Accordingly, the idea arises of selling them, because they are still not needed, but they will be useful to someone, plus you can get money. IN modern world there are even specialized stores and websites where anyone can both sell their things and buy something at a very low price. But, few people think about the question: Is it possible to sell personal items? We will try to understand this issue further.
Energy of things
Indeed, any thing that we use or wear absorbs our energy, our thoughts, our good or negative mood. So when we give away something, we give away a part of ourselves. Surely everyone has a talisman or a thing that brings good luck or once brought, also everyone has something that is associated with bad memories. It’s good when you want to give away a “good” thing, thereby sharing positive karma with others, but what if the thing is saturated with negativity and will only harm the other person? Each thing keeps its history and is charged with its own energy. When buying something someone else's, we try on this energy for ourselves, completely unconsciously we think about the owner, thereby tuning in to his wave. In general, buying old things carries a huge risk: on the one hand, this thing can turn out to be a real talisman of good luck, and on the other hand, a source of trouble and misfortune.
Keep or sell?
Knowing about the power of things, you should think a hundred times before getting rid of it. If you feel that you want to get rid of things and get something new in return, then you can safely sell. The main thing is the ability to say goodbye. For example, take an unnecessary thing that you want to sell, close your eyes and remember how you got it, what connects you with it, feel it. Imagine how you make a ball out of memories, and then mentally pierce it, so you will rid the thing of your energy. After such a ritual, you can sell a thing without worrying about the consequences.
But, there are also things that we don’t seem to need, but are so expensive that we just feel sorry for giving them away. In this case, it is better to leave it to yourself, because it is on it that a part of us is deposited most of all. Things that we literally wear to holes remain connected to us forever. Therefore, if you decide to get rid of the "old friend", then it is better to burn him, breaking the whole connection.
Remember that you can not give away the thing that you feel sorry for. It will take a part of you, your energy and memories, and if you regret for a long period of time, then your energy will only go away. Of course, such a sale is not worth the effort.
Well, if you decide to do good deeds, and, for example, donate a thing to the poor or to the church, you must understand that, first of all, this is a gesture of a generous person who gives without demanding anything in return. If you are guided by selfish thoughts, even a good deed can do harm. Only pure intentions can give you something new and bright. Give with a pure heart.
What is the risk in accepting other people's things?
Everyone is on their guard, taking other people's things, hoarfrost in vain, they are fraught with a lot of risk. For starters, you can't be sure who owned the item if, for example, you buy it in a second-hand store. A person may not wish harm to anyone, but the thing is still saturated with his energy, negative or positive. The consequences can be serious, from the slightest trouble to a threat to life.
You can't wear things. And the point is not at all in their death, but in the fact that by wearing such things, we will remember the deceased and aggravate ourselves, this thing will cause a certain fear, which will then develop into negative energy.
Many doctors have proven that it is better to refrain from buying things that have not undergone special chemical cleaning. Since the carrier could suffer various skin diseases, hepatitis. This is very dangerous to health and can pose a real threat. You should not buy someone else's shoes, since each person's foot has its own characteristics, such shoes will be uncomfortable.
Think before you buy things in second-hand, remember about the threat that they can cause you, because there are many cases when absolutely healthy people after buying such things.
Second hand
These "special" shops or spontaneous markets have always been popular, and have been a point of contact for many disputes. On the one hand, you can buy a high-quality, fashionable and unique thing at a completely meager price, but on the other hand, we cannot know who owned this thing before. This is always a big risk, as a perfectly cute and harmless blouse can cause damage, attract bad luck and make you feel worse. And many simply disdain to buy clothes in second-hand stores. Here opinions are absolutely contradictory. One thing can be said, there is nothing shameful in such purchases, but you should also remember about the power of things and elementary processing. No one wants to harm themselves and increase the risk of contracting any dangerous disease.
- Mirrors. They are the guardians of souls, they are able to remember the images of everyone, those who have ever looked into them. Therefore, one should not sell them, incurring failures.
- Favourite things. Don't sell what you'll regret later The best way get rid of - send such things to charity.
- "Dead" things. All things that are somehow associated with dead energy: inanimate flowers, stuffed animals, feathers, shells, should not be sold so as not to lose your energy and your vitality.
- Photos. If you have a photo that you do not like, it is better to burn it, and in no case sell it, as you can jinx yourself.
- Broken clock. This is a very bad sign, do not bring trouble on yourself, broken watches always promised misfortune.
Thus, we can say that selling your own things is always a huge risk, do not be afraid to part with unnecessary things, but remember how to do it right. Be careful when buying other people's things, do not tempt fate and then luck will follow you.
In today's world, new products enter the market every minute. The 21st century is not without reason called the "era of consumption" - people are constantly selling and buying something. If you live in a city, then, most likely, the desire to update things or a car is not alien to you, replacing the old and boring with the new. So why not make money on it? The Avito website provides this opportunity to everyone, and you can read about how to quickly sell your goods on it in this article.
Advantages of selling on Avito
Nowadays, the phrase from the famous cartoon "In order to buy something unnecessary, you must first sell something unnecessary" takes on new meaning. You want to buy a new car, but before that you need to sell the old one. Or you have looked after yourself a new smartphone model, but why do you need two then? Or appeared in the store new collection clothes, and the closet is no longer closed? It is in such cases that intermediary sites for the sale of things come to the rescue.
You can find many such companies, so why Avito? There are many reasons for this. The company entered the market in 2007. The site was originally conceived as an analogue of Ebay, but its creator quickly realized that you won’t get far at auctions. Therefore, since 2009, Avito began to position itself as a site with ads for the resale of things. Now it is one of the most visited Runet sites. Thousands of people sell goods there every day. And where, if not on him, to pay attention when selling equipment, cars and clothes. "Avito" will help to do this simply, quickly and efficiently. But the amount of time you spend waiting for buyers directly depends on how well you designed the text and ad settings. How to quickly sell goods on "Avito"?
How to write an ad
The mistake many new salespeople make is to underestimate the importance of ad copy. However, not only the time of sale, but also its price will depend on how attractively the product is described. It is better to spend the extra 20 minutes and write good text than to explain everything a hundred times to each person who called you. What needs to be done in order to quickly sell on Avito?
- Before selling a thing, you must first carefully inspect it for possible damage. Maybe it lay on the far shelf of the closet for a long time and you will have to explain for a long time where the crack on the glass of the smartphone came from. It will also be useful to collect all the checks and documents left with you after buying it.
- Proper pricing is also very important. Look at things of a similar category on "Avito" and compare them with the quality of your product. But the final cost also depends on how urgently you need to sell the thing. The faster, the lower the price.
- Take a picture of the item in the best possible way. If you're selling clothes, be sure to ask someone to "pose" in them for a photo. If you want to get away with a car, wash and clean it. The visual component is very important for a successful sale.
- After you go to "Avito" and click the "Post Ad" button, select the correct section. Products listed in the wrong category are simply rejected by the moderators.
- Come up with a capacious and attractive title. The rule is similar to writing a book: a good title is already 50% successful. Among thousands of identical products, people need to “catch” their eyes on something in order to open the link. The name should contain the type of product and some characteristics. For example, instead of "Used sweater" you can write "Very warm wool sweater." Simple, but capacious phrases immediately attract the eyes of buyers.
If you correctly compiled an ad, but there are still no calls and no, and you need money urgently, then do not despair. There are several ways to quickly sell on Avito. How? There are a few tricks for this:
- Reduce the price a little. If no one wants to buy your thing or equipment, reduce their cost by 100 rubles. In the search column, they will be displayed at a discount, which will attract new customers.
- Call to action. It is not enough to specify the parameters of the thing: add something like “Call, the sale is valid only until the 27th” at the end of the ad. This will increase the likelihood that someone will call you.
- Leave the opportunity to contact you not only by phone number. Modern people They don't like talking to strangers on the phone. It is much more comfortable for many to write a message on the site. Avito provides this service for free: the main thing is not to forget to look through your personal account in time.
- Observe seasonality. How to sell faster on Avito? Nobody canceled tricks. Sell winter goods in December or November. Then you can sell at a higher price.
How to take a good product photo
Most of all, Avito sells clothes and shoes. Due to high competition this species used items sell the worst. But how to sell clothes faster on Avito? Do good photo! For this, the “soap box” of 2003 is not suitable. Take a high-quality photo on a smartphone with a good camera or an inexpensive DSLR. Believe me, such photos stand out noticeably from the general gray mass.
How to write a sales text
In addition to a good and eye-catching headline, writing quality copy is also a very important task. You can read whole lectures on how to sell shoes on Avito quickly. But you try not to confuse readers with overly long headlines and characteristics copied from the Web. It would be better if the description is written from the heart. Be honest about the advantages, smooth out the shortcomings a little. Be sure to include the reason for the sale. It is better to break the text itself into small paragraphs with subheadings, which will indicate the name, parameters, status, and other important details. Write simply and clearly, in your own words.
Free or paid sale
Most ads on the Avito website are free. However, there are certain limitations. In a number of cities and in certain areas, the supply free ads may be limited to 1-3 ads. This is not due to the greed of the site, but to the increased number of stores that literally flooded the site with their repetitive products. What are the benefits of paid selling?
- Your ad will be visible at the top of the page.
- The product will be seen by more users.
- Buy it faster.
It makes sense to use paid services when selling expensive items: cars or real estate. If you have own shop, then you will most likely need this option too. How to sell a fur coat on "Avito" quickly? Take advantage of the VIP ad. In other cases, standard placement will suffice.
How to make money selling things

- Buy in summer, sell in winter. If you have a certain amount of free funds, you can invest it in a seasonal product.

Instruction
You can sell unwanted clothes through a thrift store. Today, thrift stores are becoming more and more popular, as they began to sell quite high-quality items bought abroad, including from the collections of famous fashion designers or just clothes from popular brands. With a more than democratic price of clothes, buyers have a chance to find very high quality and often even new things.
This method of selling unnecessary items has been known since Soviet times, and since then the rules for accepting goods have not changed much: you need to bring clean items, if possible, attach labels to them if the items are still new or a dry cleaning coupon if we are talking about suits, jackets, coats or fur coats. It is best to contact specialized thrift stores - this way there is a greater chance that they will buy a thing.
For the seller among the pluses consignment shops, first of all, we can name the following: fast sale of things, communication with each buyer is not required. Among the cons will be low price sale of goods, its markdown, if it is not sold, and the size of the commission.
You can sell things yourself, for this it is worth asking your friends if they need your former things and to whom they may be suitable. However, it is usually not so profitable to sell to acquaintances, they rely on big discounts or even ask to give them things for free. Therefore, you can use the services of free ads and place several in the newspapers of your city. Usually, with the help of "From Hand to Hand" or similar publications, things are sold quite quickly and successfully, if prices are not overstated.
Another option to quickly get rid of unwanted clothes is to sell them at a flea market or flea market. Such markets usually work on weekends, you can set the prices for things yourself, and the time of all things will depend on their condition, price, originality and how actively you will paint the benefits of each thing. The disadvantage of this method is the possibility of losing more than earning, because you have to pay for a place.
In the spread of the Internet, flea markets are also mastering this space. Numerous groups appear on social networks, where everyone can post a photo, price for their own things. Then it remains only to take calls from customers and agree on a convenient time for the sale. You can also place such ads on special sites - general bulletin boards that sell used goods, for example, Slando, Avito, eBay, Molotok.ru and others. For the success of the sale, you should use the services of several services at once.
