Reply to "Sold Anything Recently?"

Like a lot of folks, I'm done selling on ebay.  I'd rather take less money than deal with it.  Craigslist has been a waste of time.  In my area, it seems like Craigslist is for bottom feeders who are looking for free ____.  I'm not on Facebook or I'd try Marketplace.  I was going to set up an idle FB account but if you try that, they throttle your account and you don't get access to Marketplace.  So OGR it is!

I sold some stuff here on OGR last fall.  I was happy with the results.  For me it's about getting rid of stuff.  I don't expect profit.  Just like most things in life, if you make money on the sale, it's because you bought it cheap!  I mostly determine sale price by checking the sold listings on eBay and then knock off a few bucks.  Sometimes I just know what things go for.

The mail was a disaster last year so I didn't use them.  The UPS Stores near me are a rip-off (UPS Stores are franchises).  FedEx has been my go-to shipper.  Since their stores are all owned by FedEx, their online shipping calculator is accurate to the penny.  In my OGR listings, I ask folks to send me their zip code.  I can quote the shipping to the buyer and be accurate.

It does seem like a strong market right now.  This fall (train season) I'm going to sell off a bunch of modern Standard Gauge.  That's going to be a bear to ship (840 Power Station! ).
