Negotiating there is a bit of psychology in that now the app I use was Facebook marketplace now, hold on

Never underestimate what will sell
I sold wooden bed slats for $20 that my son wanted to take to the dump. Let's hop on over to the app
I'm on a samsung s10
It may look slightly different for iPhone users or others once in facebook open the marketplace
Click the menu in the top right corner from here select marketplace on the Samsung
You'll see a row of buttons across the top you're looking for the sell button clicking sale
Opens the listing so you can add the item details from the pop-up click items
This is where you will add photos of your items
And is your first opportunity to grab your buyers attempts, but wait, you can add 0 to 10 photos
So yes, you can list an item without a photo
However, a picture is worth a thousand words, so don't skip this step items without photos rarely sale
I suggest you add three photos from different angles tip
Number two when you click add photos, it opens your phone gallery
You can see the camera icon in the top, right this allows you to take photos directly in the app
but a better option is to take them before in and verify your item looks top-notch edit the item with filters and
contrast and make them pop pop makes them stand out in the listing so as
buyers scroll through your photos. Pop out. Next is the title tip number three
This is your second opportunity to grab the buyers attention so think keywords here
What would someone type into the search bar that we're looking for my item for example today?
I'm listing a juicer a top-rated juicer and well-known brand
So I'm using the brand name in the title
If there's a model include that in the title and the condition, especially if it's like new are new
Next is the price now hold up
Don't just pull a price out of thin air and don't get caught up in what you pay for it. Nobody cares
It's only worth what someone's willing to pay you for it
Now the name of the game is declutter unused items and make some extra cash
Not get rich quick Joe millionaire
Tip # 4 know your competition, before you start your listing do a search on Facebook
Marketplace to see if similar items are listed then
Google, the item to see what it sells for new and consider the condition of your remember
Even if yours is new and in the box, you still have to price it. So people will want to buy it
otherwise
they'll just go buy a new one doing these two quick searches before you get into the listing will save you time A;
Knowing the competition and B; knowing the pricing
Advantages and disadvantages of your product then price it accordingly
I did this already and saw that there are several juicers for sale in my area. Yes. You can select your area
I'll get into that in just a moment
there's only one other juicer like mine for sale and it's
170 a couple of things to consider from your search
the exact model
Does yours feature something unique that sets it apart from others the juicer like mine was posted seven days ago
Which tells me the item isn't selling for some reason most often
It's priced too high because I found that items usually sell within 24 to 48 hours after listed correctly and priced
right after doing the google shopping search I see the exact same juicer sells at Bed Bath & Beyond for around
143 so it's safe to say
170 might be a stretch and
Probably why the listing is still there after a week?
I'm going to price my juicer at 125 because I know people will make an offer unless and offers are the name of the game
My goal is a hundred dollars
Stay with me price negotiating sale coming up whether you're selling our bond
Next pick the category hit the drop-down menu and find the category that best matches
I'm selecting home and kitchen us
There's a subcategory and here I will select kitchen and dining where it takes me to yet another
Subcategory and I can select small kitchen appliances. Here's where the juicers are specifically listed tip number five
condition now y'all it's
Extremely important you be honest here if it's not like new the don't select like new you don't want some very upset
Person coming out to pick up an item
Isn't what it's listed as I'm just saying if you do this you're asking for trouble. So be honest Brand is next
This is a text box. You can add the brand name here. I'll add in the Breville brand new
Description is next in your third opportunity to really draw the buyer in be descriptive and sales
Savvy use adjectives. Thank gently-used
Are used love cared for but ready for its new home breed the competitive listing make yours better
Description is also a great place to load up key search terms but making sure the text actually makes sense
Key search words or what someone would type in if they were searching for your item?
Next is product tags
which
essentially are search words Facebook uses the tags to index the search hires do
notice it clearly states that
Marketplace items are public and can be seen by anyone on or off
Facebook and tells you what items are not allowed which they will instantly
Block you for selling so don't even bother trying to list items that are not allow question our product tags
Index by Google search I have not personally seen any Facebook items show up in Google search
Even if I type in the exact item and used I do however see
EBay Mercari and Poshmark being indexed by Google, but don't let that
Deter you my items flew out the door using these selling technique and my text
Negotiating strategies coming up tip number six try to use all twenty tags
So your item has the best chance of coming up in search
especially if
Competition is high for the item. Click
Next here is the location and delivery method some items allow you to ship. I don't have time for shipping
I sell locally. So I select the area where I live from the drop-down this opens up the map
You can pick another area if you plan to drive
To meet them or maybe take the item to work with you and meet them after worker during lunch
This is a great option to consider if you live in a rural area
selecting the more densely populated
Area where businesses are located will give you a higher number of people searching in that area
You can always edit your listing and change this click Next
This will take you to publish here. You can select where you want to publish and you have the option to join
Suggested selling groups to expand your reach

Actually a word of caution on making your sale exchange
It's important to note
if you don't feel safe having
Someone meet you or come to your home then plan to meet them for the exchange in a very public place and take
Someone with you your safety has to be your priority and come first over selling an item
It's a fact there are opportunist predators out there
so be
Smarter than them and practice these super simple safety tips when making your exchange if they insist
You meet them somewhere you feel
unsafe, even the slightest bit simply say no and move on to the next potential buyer your
Life is worth far more than the item. You are selling now. Click publish voila your item is listed and now the
selling begins bonus tips on price
Negotiating tential buyers will contact you via Facebook messenger
I have first question you will generally get is is this still available sir?
Yes and close the app key points here sales is a conversation
You need to look for buying signals like lots of questions or multiple tag
They won't most likely make an offer or ask another question
Even if they say well I can buy a new one for 130 dollars
Simply say I understand. Let me ask what were you thinking would be a fair price?
They may come back with something acceptable or really low either way always be pleasant slow the conversation
Down, close the app so it doesn't look like you're sitting there waiting or typing or respond and give it a few minutes
Then come back with a humanizing approach like thank you so much. I appreciate you taking the time to contact me
What questions can I answer for you on it asking questions is huge and a top tip
So try to phrase any response into an engaging
Conversational question about the item why they might be interested in it
they may go right straight into price and ask you will you take a closer minimize the app while you're
Considering reopen after a few moments and reply now if the offer is good, of course
You're gonna accept it and move straight into making arrangements for the exchange Key tip here make the exchange the same day whenever possible
This will prevent shoppers guilt from creeping in on them and changing their mind the more time that goes by the less
likely
They will make the exchange ask them to prepay
via PayPal cash app or venmo
So you can mark the items sold for them if their offer is too low then reply
Thank you for your offer
Minimize and close the out or some psychology behind the other giving them hanging and allowing them to wonder. What does that mean?
Is that a yes or a No, they don't need to see you sitting there waiting for their response
You're not desperate to sell the Idol. They're not the only potential buyer while waiting if they text you again
That's a buying signal and shows that they're super
Interested in the item that you're selling hold close to your price if they made a low offer and you can reply
You'll be able to work with me at X pick a number just above what you're hoping to give for example
Let's say they offered $80 on a hundred and fifty dollar item that you really wanted a hundred dollars for
Asking them to work with you at 120 will generally push them up closer to your target goal of $100
They will either take it at 120 or come back with a slightly higher offer than before
No, that's not in my budget. If no and you can ask if they can meet you at
$100 and see what the reply is
It's still no then thank them and drop off quickly doing these steps will help get you the most for your item
Let's recap take great pictures in advance edit crop and make them pop do your search on Facebook
marketplace and Google for competitive price and
advantages and
Disadvantage
Using keyword phrases but not always every detail this way
They have a reason to message you with a question other than asking
Availability great strategy is to leave out that one Mon or detail that will prompt the interested buyer to ask additional
questions price it fairly based on the
Competition be honest about the condition use all your search tags
So your item has a better chance of being found in the search be smart and stay safe when it comes to making these
Change only accept cash or have them prepay you once you've agreed upon the exchange location
Never tell someone you live alone. Never have them come to your place. If you live alone and remember selling is a conversation
Asking questions helps you find out their motivation
Then you can use that to leverage and get your price best of luck
Have fun making some extra money while minimizing and clearing the clutter of your life
