Summer Resolutions

I am not a believer in New Years resolutions mainly because New Years is in the middle of winter and most people are too busy or un-motivated to actually maintain their resolution(s). I have witnessed failure too many times in my resolution(s), to the point of not making them anymore. This creates a short term goal void that I feel needs to be filled for more energy and drive in everyday life.

Now I have found myself breaking the mold, summer is sunny, full of possibility, and motivating. Why not make summer resolutions? That’s what I have found myself doing the last two years and am maintaining the trend this summer.

How to Sell An Item Through Craigslist

I have been asked multiple times by family members and friends, ‘how can I sell on Craigslist.’ I have sold hundreds of dollars worth of items through Craigslist and through my sales I’ve found what works and what doesn’t work. This article goes through the five essential steps you need to follow to sell your item(s) on Craigslist.

1. Know the Condition / Value of the Item

 This step is key to knowing what your item is realistically worth and to avoid low-ball offers and the occasional angry email. If you have an Iphone for example and you just bought it for $800 tax in, four months ago, it’s not worth $800 anymore. The sad realization of an items value is key to getting your item sold quickly and obtaining more offers to choose from.

The best way to find an accurate value for your item is to go on Craigslist, Kijiji, Ebay, etc. and find similar products. Take the average price you see on the listings and factor that into your items condition to figure out a proper value for your item.
