This tends to be time consuming though so if you can bundle things into groups it might work better.</p> <p>For a quick sale of many items, consignment sales probably work best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-best-roi-on-used-items#post-2276442 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 02:08:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2276442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have found this order best </p> <p>Toys and big baby stuff - facebook swap. Plus is you get full sale price. Cin you may have to list for a while and wait for a buyer and then coordinate meeting for multiple sales. </p> <p>Consignment Sales - usually about 70% profit. You price your stuff. Clothes sell well here especially nicer brands and sets. </p> <p>Consignment store - they give you their price which is usually very low. Typically they pay for brands by category and I've heard only buying for around 30-40% of retail price </p> <p>Selling online is great if you can figure out cheap shipping. PayPal is great with pretty low fees to protect buyers and sellers. Obviously not good for bigger stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-best-roi-on-used-items#post-2276441 Sat, 29 Aug 2015 01:46:41 +0000 lamariniere 2276441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I list across multiple sites, the local FB buy/sell group, a site similar to Craigslist and the local parenting listserv. I just listed a ton of stuff yesterday hoping to make room for winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-best-roi-on-used-items#post-2276415 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 23:29:12 +0000 serenity207 2276415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Sorry if I wasn't clear. Basically I'm wondering if I earn more back doing a consignment sale as opposed to an online site (eBay, ThredUp, etc.) or if there are better options I haven't considered yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-best-roi-on-used-items#post-2276411 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 23:24:21 +0000 BSB 2276411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's ROI stand for? ️Return on investment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-best-roi-on-used-items#post-2276405 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 23:20:41 +0000 serenity207 2276405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some used items I'd like to sell (mostly some of my clothes/bags/accessories as well as some kids clothes/toys) so that I can put it towards purchasing some much needed clothes/items for next season. Where do you usually sell your used items for the best ROI? </p>
