Selling Tips

Use a Photo
  ·  A good photo can improve the response your ad may have by 150% or more.
  ·  Take a photo with a digital camera or have on of our sales reps do it for you.
  ·  Be sure to take several angles of the item.

Price it Right
  ·  Is the price that you want a realistic asking price?
  ·  State in the description of your item that the price is OBO (or best offer) – this might give a potential buyer more incentive to contact you if the asking price is close to their budget. This will also give you a chance to justify the price and negotiate a sale.

Lemon Check
  ·  Determine if your item has a lemon classification.
  ·  If you can prove that your item has a favorable rating then a sale may be more inevitable.

Good Presentation
  ·  Tidy up you vehicle/item before you sell it. A first impression can mean the difference between a sale or not. Do any necessary cleaning.

Maximizing Your Inquires
  ·  When you log as a member we show you the number of ad views that your ad has received since it has been listed.
  ·  You can use this information to help you determine what changes might be useful. As an example, if you ad views are high but you are not getting a lot of inquires, you may need to adjust the asking price slightly.

Closing the sale
  ·  Write a receipt for you and the buyer with signatures on both copies. Make sure to include all the relevant information on the receipt so that the terms of the deal can not be misinterpreted. Keep the receipt for your records. This will establish the date of sale and help keep you protected from any future liability. Make sure to accept only a certified cheque or money order.
