How to sell something fast
10 Tips for FAST Selling with OfferUp and LetGo
it's a new year everybody and if you're
like me you're selling lots of old stuff
out of the garage because you're trying
to get money to pay your taxes I mean
you're trying to clear out the garage
but if you're trying to sell stuff on
offer up and let go it might be
frustrating if you're not able to sell
these things quickly so I wanted to make
a video for you giving you ten tips to
help you sell stuff on offer up and let
go faster and easier number one I've
learned from selling a lot of stuff that
it's a good idea to post in the morning
or early afternoon I tend to post it
about 10:30 or 11:00 o'clock this is
kind of a good idea because when you
first post your item they feature it
right they show the item off to new
people and to people who are browsing
for items on let go or offer up so if
you do this at say 10:00 p.m. at night
then all the time that your item is free
featured I like to call it all the free
feature time is going to be in the
middle of the night when a lot of people
are asleep and they're not going to be
on their phones looking for stuff so if
you do it at around 9:30 to 11:00 a.m.
then there's a good chance that your
item is going to be on the feature spot
during the day when people are actually
on their phones looking for stuff so I
like that as my primetime eleven o'clock
number two this is pretty obvious but
respond lightning fast when you're
selling something on these apps people
want the item now a lot of times they've
seen it just impulse buy like they want
that vintage Sega Genesis that you're
selling or they want that cool piece of
furniture right now and if you don't
respond within a few minutes a lot of
the time you're gonna lose the sale
because people are gonna go on to the
next old Sega system or the next piece
of furniture that is in the app it's
showing them a lot of products so you
have to respond lightning fast in order
to keep your buyers interested and I
like to close the deals relatively fast
as soon as someone asks you about an
item respond to them and start a
friendly conversation to get the item
sold so number three is always respond
to people even if you are late it's
better to respond late than not to
respond at all believe it or not I was
in Thailand
and I was getting messages while I was
away a on offer up and let go for
products that I had and I was gone for
two months when I came back and landed
while I was in the airplane I message
people saying I just returned where he's
still interested in that item that I'm
selling and believe it or not a couple
people said yes and I was able to sell a
really high ticket item a $600 of
restaurant equipment $650 right away as
soon as I got back from my trip to
Thailand luckily that person was still
looking for the item that I was selling
always respond even if you're late
still send out an effort respond to the
person reach out maybe they still want
what you're selling number four list a
lot of items it's a numbers game think
about it if you only have three items
for sale then you only have three
chances to sell something today if you
have 15 items or 20 items for sale
that's 20 chances for you to sell
something each day what you want to do
is have a lot of items up at any time
find stuff around the house that you're
trying to sell it's pretty easy to find
stuff in the garage or whatever you're
selling just sell crap that you have and
have a lot of things up because that's
going to increase your chance of getting
buys each day or getting responses also
don't be married to let go or offer up
they are competing with each other but
that doesn't mean you have to exclude
yourself from either Avenue of selling
your stuff I put my things up on offer
up and let go I also put them up on eBay
if shipping isn't a problem
so having 20 items for sale on two or
three platforms gives you a much higher
chance of selling an item each day
number five this is obvious but always
make a good description and try to take
the best pictures that you can with good
lighting don't take pictures in a creepy
garage with darkness and shadows all
around the item make sure that the item
is well lit people can see what they're
gonna buy in order to get their interest
make sure to leave a few paragraphs
about the item talk it up a little bit
we will always be honest
don't ever lie and be dishonest about an
item number six if you have an item
that's up there for six months eight
months a year and it hasn't sold I would
take the item down and I would relist it
when you realist
item again you're basically getting a
free feature for a short amount of time
so that's gonna show your item off to a
lot of people also you're gonna get a
lot less low ballers some people search
let go and offer up for things that have
been up there for a very long time
because they assume if they lowball you
that you're gonna go along with their
low offer because your item has been up
there for six months eight months a year
hasn't sold so relist the items it shows
that they're fresh and it gives it that
free feature for just a few days
number seven is when you talk to people
always be nice to them
even low ballers you got to be nice to
the low ballers to be honest with you it
can get frustrating sometimes because
you'll get a lot of messages on offer up
and let go
people saying hi is this available and
then you say yes it is available would
you like to come see it and then they
never respond and you get that ten times
for one item it's really frustrating
when people just ask you if an item is
available and that's it but you've got
to remain nice to everybody and if
someone shoots you a really low price
you can always tell them about the item
explain why it has value and rebuttal
with an offer maybe somewhere in the
middle between their low price and what
you're asking but always be nice to
people when you talk to him even the low
ballers number eight when it's Christmas
time you should sell like crazy right
before Christmas I was selling a lot of
stuff because I was trying to get out of
here to go to Thailand and even while I
was gone I left all these postings up
and my phone was exploding I had so many
offers on some of my stuff because it
was near Christmas time and I had some
electronics and stuff like I had a drone
and people are trying to buy a
secondhand drone for their kid before
Christmas they really want a nice drone
or you know they don't want to spend a
thousand dollars because the kid might
break it so they go with a used one but
people are searching Christmas time
they're spending way more money so
you're way more likely to sell your
stuff during Christmas and if you have a
bunch of stuff to sell and it's
Christmas time or even coming close to
the holidays put it all on offer up let
go don't let
time go to waste because that's sales
season number nine kind of obvious but
your high quality items and your
technology stuff is gonna sell a lot
faster and a lot easier than some of the
other stuff you may have old technology
15 year old computers five year old
phones people still buy those believe it
or not if you put it up there for some
low price you're gonna be able to sell
it quickly I recently sold cables to a
DJ that had been sitting in the garage
for 20 years
different music equipment amplifiers
those type of things sell much faster
than clothing and stuff like that your
high quality items your tech that's
gonna sell faster so don't negotiate as
much with things that you have tons of
offers for like that if I were selling a
phone I would not go with the first low
baller that sent me a poor offer because
there's a lot of people that are gonna
hit me up for selling a phone even low
quality items or partially broken items
if they work and have functionality they
can still sell - believe it or not I
sold like a 250 dollar stroller that was
in my parent's garage I sold that for
like 40 bucks because it had one little
arm piece that was broken but it still
functioned perfectly you could hold two
kids in it they could sit in there
safely comfortably it just had an
aesthetic piece that was broken for a
cup holder at the top I've put that up
at a discounted price and some dad now
gets to use that for his kids instead of
that thing sitting in a garage and
wasting space it gets to go to good use
now so don't give up on selling low
quality items or things that are a
little banged up some people might still
have value in them if they work and they
have use go ahead it doesn't hurt to put
them on offer up and let go and those
are all your tips for selling things
faster on offer up and let go I wish you
the best of luck out there I hope you
sell all of your stuff so that you can
pay off your taxes I mean make room in
your garage and have some extra cash in
your pocket if you enjoyed this video go
