This is a tough one. I recently lost my job and me and my son had to move in with my parents, they have no room for my stuff so I had to put it in storage...but I understand it is hard to put stuff in storage with no money because of no job. So I sold some of the stuff like my bedroom set and mostly big stuff so I could afford a small storage unit. I sold to friends so it went fast. I thought of ebay but it takes a few days for people to bid then a few for them to send money then you have to worry about shipping and all that. Try the local paper too. Hope everything works out for you..God BlessWhat should I do? Your advice???? HELP!?
That's a tough one. You might want to try the local paper with an ad that states the type of items you have for sale (since time is of the essence) and have people call for a price on a group of items (let's say all your Barbies) or for individual items. There are a lot of collectors who check the paper frequently, also, there are many people who need furniture and will call to ask if you have something they're looking for..... Good luck!
Decide what you want take pictures, and put it on craigslist and give a price for just buying it all.
if you can't sell everything right away then rent a storage area until you figure out what to do with your stuff.
Put it in storage or let the stuff go to auction remember used stuff is worth about 20 % of new value and that may be to high
well it,s not good either way but you must do what you can see yard sells are a cheap way to buy things and in a way a auction is to.my nephew,s mother got a good couch for $20.00.if i was you i would go with the second auction place
Try calling an Estate Sale Person instead of an auction place. You get better prices on your stuff. I would sell the barbie collection or any other valuable collection on e-bay. Dealers are the people shopping at auctions mostly and they have to make a profit on your stuff when they buy it, so they try to pay as little as they can. Unless you can have an Estate Sale at your home! It may be to late, but a smaller estate dealer could pull it together in a couple days and have a sale for you this weekend! I'm in MO and the market here is not very good. We have a hard time moving furniture and smalls right now. Even the antiques are going for a song, so don't expect much on the dollar compared to what you paid for it. Best of luck on your sale and move!
Either way you're not going to get to do what you really want or feel comfortable with. So, I would go with the 2nd choice since they have a good reputation thru the BBB. Sounds like you would get a better value thru them %26amp; January isn't that far away. It'll be here before you know it.
That really isn't much time. But estate sales are very common and reliable. My suggestion is, (if it is possible financially) to place your items in a storage facility for a month or two until you can be there for the sale of the items. A small storage facility. for ex: 5x10 is inexpensive monthly. Just be sure the facility is in good shape and there is no water leakage, etc. Good luck to you.
Put it in heated storage and come back and get it when you can. No one will give you a great price for your good because you need to get rid of them so fast.
E-Bay/ or halw it
sounds like your choice is already made.
you did a good job-checking it all out.
get a written inventory of the items and a contract on them
Depending on the items, I would give away the stuff you know that others will love and you can donate the furniture to charity for a writeoff and the ';sale'; items send to the auction house.
The rest will just go to charity anyway. So start sorting now.
Good luck.
Start selling some things yourself right now. Personally, I don't care for EBay. I have had good luck on craigslist and my local paper where you can post ads online for free.
An ongoing moving sale isn't so bad, but box up and store what you know you can't part with.
Lastly, after using the above suggestions, let the auction place you feel comfortable with sell the rest.
My advice is to just maybe sell some of your better stuff on ebay, or go with the place that will sale the things in janurary, but if you do want to just get your money's worth, why don't you try to sell them for a good price on ebay
