Sold



Son K took these used video games to the EB Games video store at the mall. They will buy your used games. Unfortunately, they would only give him $10 for both. He felt they were worth a lot more, so he decided to list them on Kijiji, the free classified website. Within a week he found a buyer and got $30 for both. The only trouble is that sometimes you have to go a little out of your way to find a meeting site that is convenient to both parties. He was able to do the swap at a mall that wasn't too far away.

Have you sold anything on Kijiji or Craiglist classified websites?

    I get rid of mine through an app called Mercari. CL has too many worthless people looking for everything for nothing. I also like the concept of mailing them as it's far safer than meeting some stranger.

    I have only used EBAY, but also prefer to use mail. Have a fun day, hugs, Valerie

    I've only ever sold things on eBay or at the stores near me. The problem with selling to a store is that they always offer you a lot less so they can still make a profit. It's not so bad if you're trying to get rid of things but if you'd like to make a little money yourself you do need eBay or classified.

    I would never sell something where I have to meet with the buyer (or vice versa) as we have had so many attacks on people doing that in this area. Some have even been killed. I guess it's all about where you live, but here, no to Craig's list or anything like it.

    Never heard of the k place. Sounds great though, better than a tenner for two. Good on him. Woohoo! Here's to selling crap we don't need. Or want anymore.

    Glad he got more money from the sale. Your son is quite the business man, isn't he?

    That is great, Christine! We've sold a few items on Kijiji. If you set a fair price for your things, they can move quite quickly.
