What sells, where
Phones, consoles, tablets, cameras: highest value density. Wipe them properly; include chargers; photograph screens on.

Selling well and safely
Completed sales, not asking prices. Undercut the middle by 10% to move this week.
Daylight, plain background, every flaw shown. Honesty prevents returns and arguments.
Daylight, public places; many police stations offer marked exchange zones. Cash or instant transfer; never checks, never overpayment 'refunds' (that's the classic scam).
One listing Sunday with 10 items beats ten scattered efforts. Momentum sells.
Aller plus loin
Local pickup or shipping: how do I choose per item?
Weight and value density decide. Furniture, exercise gear, anything awkward: local only; shipping erases the price and porch-freight damage erases the rest. Small-and-valuable (phones, cameras, brand shoes): national platforms with shipping widen the buyer pool enough to lift prices 20-40% over local offers, worth the packing hassle. The hybrid worth knowing: list locally at a slight premium AND nationally simultaneously, kill the slower listing when one bites. And electronics always wiped to factory settings before photos; accounts left logged in scare buyers, and they should.
How do I spot the overpayment scam before it costs me?
The shape never changes: 'buyer' sends more than the price (a check, a fake payment screenshot, a 'shipping agent' story) and asks you to refund the difference or hand the item before funds truly clear. Banks can bounce checks WEEKS after making funds provisionally available, so the refund you send is real money and the payment never was. Ironclad rules: cash or instant bank transfer (verified in YOUR app, not their screenshot), never accept overpayment for any reason, meet in daylight at a public spot (police-station exchange zones exist for this), and let any deal that adds complexity die. Legitimate buyers are boring.
