SALTZMAN: The best way to sell your unwanted stuff online

Summary

Nutrition label

59% Informative

Free classifieds sites and peer-to-peer marketplace apps like Facebook Marketplace , Kijiji , Craigslist , and Karrot are stellar ways to unload items you no longer want or need.

Be as detailed (and honest) about the product as possible, and be honest about its condition.

Research the going rate for your item to determine a competitive price.

Post more than once and/or to different neighbourhoods.

Since platforms like Facebook Marketplace and the like are local classifieds sites and apps, you’ll need to meet the person to conduct the transaction.

To err on the side of caution, ask to meet in a public place such as a coffee shop or a shopping mall instead of your home.

Police stations sometimes have parking lot areas designated for safe transactions between people who are buying or selling items online.
