Selling used items during COVID-19

[shawsperbec2]

I have been selling used tools and vintage items here for a few years and haven’t seen Times like this before. My sales haven’t went down but all the places I would shop for my Merchandise is closed and my inventory is going down and I’m down to selling what wasn’t intended to be sold here when I purchased it. So I’m loosing money after Final Evaluation fees fees and PayPal characters. Wondering if there’s any recommendations of where to look for outlets to find merchandise. I can only survive so long selling at a loss. Thank you for your time

Try social media that facilitates individual sales, like Facebook Marketplace. Chances are that you have some neighbors who have time to clean out their garage or attic and who wouldn't mind turning their unused stuff into cash.

Then why sell something if you're going to lose money on it? Just trash it. And why are you selling sockets separately? A used Craftsman 12mm for $9 you can buy new at Sears for $5 isn't going to get much sales. Maybe sell 5 different sizes in one listing.

Craftsman no longer makes a socket made in the USA. There’s more interest in a single one to complete a vintage set than to sell as a lot. I’ve only got 3 left out of a 12pc set

As far as selling at a loss sometimes you have to make ends meet the bills aren’t going away

I ran a couple listings of what I’m looking for. Thank you for your input
