Who would be a good person to contact about buying it all. An auctioneer? I've had a 3 day yard sale but I still have lots more to get rid of and I only have a week or so. Thanks!

Look in the classifieds.  There are ads for people who will buy house hold items.

Estate and garage sales are usually priced about the same, mostly pretty good, occasionally priced too high. \n\nUsually I have gotten my best deals at "moving sales". Lots of times ppl haveperfectly good things for sale, and are moving somewhere where they don't have room to take them. \n\nAt an estate sale, because you have the items that an older person accumulated over a lifetime, lots of times there are more antique and collectibles at an estate sale. Sometimes you can get some really nice things that way reasonably. Also you can get lots of household items that you might need if you are just starting out. \n\nThe only time I have found estate sales to be pricy is if they have an antiques dealer or some other sort of professionals run it. I usually avoid those, because they tend to be overpriced. I hope this helps, and "happy sale-ing"! :-)

From one seller to another... I can give you this advice. If all you sell are jeans... Use a flat rate priority box. Ship within the U.S. only! Out of country is too much hassle and transit times are too inconsistant as well and you can't track it. - or so they tell me at the post office. Or if you truly want them to find out their exact shipping each and every hasseling time, you can get scales. And tell them you will combine shipping, but you will have to let them know at auction's end. See? Flat rate, there are never ever problems. You can put one or two pairs in there. (And that is usually all the buyer will get anyways) ...No worries on negatives or neutrals. I have been on there for three years, and pretty soon, you can almost learn to guesstimate if you don't want to use flat rate. I know someone who ships more items within a region than anyone else thru USPS from Ebay and he actually has a USPS Rep. calling him to tell him she will come to his house to set up exactly what the post office uses! Maybe directly ask them or call them. Not your local post office. They surely don't know nearly as much! Hope I have helped.

I buy and sell on ebay all the time.  Many times since 2000.  In that time I have had only 2 people not send the item and ebay and paypal investigated and resolved the issue.  One time I sold and had someone not pay and said they were in identity theft.  Didn't believe that....but filed a strike against them.  Mostly people are honest.  You have to check their feedback scores from other people and see if they are slow shippers, bad payers, etc.  I never buy anything from anyone with less that a 97% feedback score and do not sell to anyone with a no pay strike within 60 days.  I have bought things from cell phones, to bed linens, clothes, appliances, toys, electronics, shoes, tupperware, and I could go on and on.

Stop posting this question! If someone wants to buy your fishing rods, they will contact you, and not do it through this forum. This has been posted four times too many.

Good luck selling without a realtor. 99% of people just aren't comfortable without one. Too many things to miss or overlook. If you've tried to sell one using a realtor already, and had no luck, something is wrong with the house other than the price. Did you have a lot of shows? Did anyone make an offer at all?

Since you are moving, why don't you have a garage sale.  I mean really clean out everything.  It will be easier to move then too. If you have time, try Ebay.  you'll be able to get better prices there. Also if all else fails, you may have to take a small loan form one of those places that charge you like 25% interest.  But upside to that would be, when your house sells, you can pay it off and save the interest. Hope this helps.  Good Luck.\n\nIt's a shame you have to get answers like some of the ones you got above when you really need help.

There are a couple of ways to do this. First you can list the buy it now price for 1 lot. In your item description be very clear on what they are bidding on. If you have 10 lots put 10 total and in your description tell them what comes with a lot. The other way you can do it sell individually. I would not recommend this as if you are selling something for 1.00 ebay automatically charges no less that .35-.50 cents to list... then you have a end of auction fee... if you do them in lots and you sell them lets say for $5-$10 then you are only hit the one fee for each lot and not for each piece. So you still have the .35-.50 to list and your end of auction fee probably .30 . This is opposoed to selling them piece by piece and only making a few cents or sometimes you can even lose money!!!!

oh never send it till you get the payment!  send each person an invoice if you have not already done so...  and if you get no response in a few days  , then you   send an unpaid item notice, thru eBay, which they have to respond to within a certain amount of days and if they don't  you will be reimbursed for your listing charge and you can just re-list it... if you need more specific help let me know and I will walk you through it! best wishes!

People bid the items up.  There seems to be a better reaction from bidders when you start low.  Don't count on the prices staying low, people go crazy bidding.  The benefit to the seller is that the listing fee is less and people tend to go higher and wilder bidding on auctions that start low.\n\nOccasionally, you'll get lucky and find something listed in an incorrect category or just unattractively photographed or something and nobody else will bid on it and you'll get something cheap.  Don't count on it though but you never know until you try.  \n\nYou seem very innocent and inexperienced with online auctions, please carefully read feedback on the seller before buying and examine the shipping charges as well.  Be cautious and good luck!

It might not be against the rules to ask, but if the seller only has enough to cover the auction, it may not be ok for them to sell it when the auction is still in progress.    \n\nYou can however, ask after the sale, if it didn't sell, to see if they'll sell it to you.... as a seller sometimes people ask, but I never agree to that.  They usually ask me to sell it for a price i'm not willing to sell for.

I didn't see your previous post or site before changes.  Site looked good and was easy to navigate.  Question: what will be the appeal to buy from your online store?  price, selection, specialty?  I thought the price for bed canopy was good for instance, and might purchase one.  But otherwise, people searching for gifts, home decor, what?  It doesn't seem to fit the "backyard" theme to me.\nAs for the donation, there's no way I'd do it with so little information about who it goes to and how.  It could be a padding for your good cause pocket for all we know.\nJust my thoughts - Good luck!

I have been selling on ebay for over 5 years and in the past 7 months have gotten very serious about making it my business.\n\n1.  I  would NEVER use a drop shipper.\n2.  I would NEVER pick a wholesaler online.  I always make sure my wholesalers are within and hour or to an hour and thirty mintues away.\n3.  I do sell my childrens new with tag clothing that they never have never wore and the tags are still on.  And there gently used grown out of clothing.\n4.  Primative Americana stuff is really HOT right now.\n5.  Gymboree items are not all that hot on ebay right now. And gymboree items are actually getting difficult to sell.\n6.  Print your shipping labels from home.\n7. Garage sales are great if you have research what will sell before hand.\n8.  People do not like to pay outrageous shipping.  Rememeber that if you wouldn't pay your own shipping price, neither is anyone else going to.\n9.  Be as HONEST as you can be in your descriptions.\n10. The more pictures of the item the better.\n11. Communication is KEY!\n\nI have done WONDERFUL the last 7 to 9 month of my ebay selling business and have come quite close to POWERSELLER status a few times.\n\nGood Luck.

My Dad buys old records at yard sales and sells them on eBay.  He has had some luck and always comes out a head.  One time he sold a recorded for almost 400$.  It's sort of a hobby for him to sell old stuff on eBay.  Good luck selling yours.

Find some stuff around your house that you want to get rid of and sell it on eBay.  I mean depending on what you're willing to part with I'm sure you'll be surprised to find out how much people are willing to pay for stuff you've deemed junk.  Even if you don't hit your wanted amount you'll make some.  It's worth a shot.
