Remember the Ebay Stores?

I am looking for a company or a very professional trustworthy individual who resales peoples junk, clutter, loved but unused items, collectibles, etc.

I'd love to find someone or place that would do pickup at people's home. There use to be a company called Easy Sale but they are going out of business. Are there anymore Ebay stores or other places around like that?

People keep there STUFF wanting to make money from it but can't find the time or knowledge to resale it on Craigs List or Ebay ... so the STUFF just clutters their home.

Any referral's would be great.

L. B.

What can I do next?

I've not read your other posts - but I would seriously consider selling it yourself.
It doesn't take much time to take the pictures and list the items. You can use TurboLister to list multiple items.

Hi L.,

I've sold quite a bit of my own items on ebay, amazon, and craigslist, as well as some for other people. If you're still interested in finding someone to help you, I'd be happy to talk with you about it.

Have a great day!
S.

I disagree with J L to a point. Ebay has changed a lot but if you have an item that will ship easily Ebay is your best bet. In the last year I have sold several items we didn't need and actually made enough so it was well worth the time. We recently built a house so I had fixtures (faucets, shower trim, etc.) that we had purchased but decided against. I actually made money over what I paid for them! Other stuff that's profitable is designer or high end clothes and collectable type stuff. I would not hire a third party to sell it though. JL is right in that there is a reason these places have gone out of business. Ebay does not allow enough profit margin for someone else to come along and take a percentage. Listing stuff yourself is very easy and shouldn't take more than an hour or so the first time. Another option, Craigslist, is good too but you still need to upload the picture so if it's a small item Ebay reaches a much wider audience. You do not have to have people come to your home either, meeting someone at a neutral place will work too. Having moved twice in the last two years I did a lot of this to get rid of stuff. My rule was $50. If I could not be pretty certain of making at least $50 profit on something it was just not worth the trouble. Figure out what your bottom line needs to be for your to be happy and go for it!
