Welcome to the class of decluttering using Facebook marketplace, make some money while helping the planet or three are you selling your items on Facebook marketplace weekly? Well done. You may start to notice the selling pattern or you enjoy decluttering by now. I'm so glad to hear that. I'm going to show you how I listed and sold items weekly. I found a weekly pattern works the best.

I went to Christie's house every Tuesdays and worked from 10am to 6pm. I organized the stuff in the morning from 10am to noon, and move on to pick up items by the front entrance. I was making sure My phone is fully charged to receive a message or phone call from the buyers. At the one hour lunch break, I ate lunch with Christie and explaining how the sales when who pick up and so on who to pick up, etc. and so on who to pick up and so on. In the afternoon between one to 5pm I moved to 10 to 17 items for photos shooting in the attic, where has a skylight window that has a nice natural light until down.

I was taking a variety of angled photos of each item, as I showed you in part one class. While I was taking photos of the items, I needed to come down for a picnic appointment when the buyer showed up, I carried my fully charged phone with me during the time. If the buyer cancels, I wanted to contact the second seller who is on a waitlist. End of the day we were so tired. We were usually ordered for you to take home for dinner near the train station when Christie dropped me off. We were usually ordered food to take me for dinner.

We usually order the food to take home for dinner. Near the train station when Christie dropped me off. Some beaches weekend, we ordered a big lunch. Some busy this weekend. We ordered a big lunch. We ate half of for lunch and save another half for dinner Thursday or Monday.

They are listed 10 to 17 items that took pictures on Tuesday afternoon. Thursday were my distinct day. I listed 10 to 17 items that took pictures on Tuesday afternoon. When I listed item for the first time, I spent about 30 minutes per item by research, researching and writing added detail the description. When I listed item for the first time, I spent about 30 minutes per item by researching and writing a detailed description. 30 minutes by 10 items is five hours.

The more you list, the more I know which items sell well and save time researching. Now I spend 10 minutes per piece 10 minutes times 10 times 10 items 10 minutes times 10 items is one hour and 40 minutes. That is saved three hours and 20 minutes. It's almost one third of the time I used to spend. I tend to receive many inquiries a few minutes after I listed in the morning, and at night. I tend to receive many inquiries.

A few minutes after listing pasted in more in the morning, and at night. I made sure my phone is unmuted to hear I message a notification sound. As soon as I listen to the tingling sound as soon as I listen to the ringing, I answered yes then Started started a chat conversation with a potential buyer. When the buyer shows interest in picking up, I exchanged this exchanged this information Okay, when a buyer shows interest in picking up, I exchanged the necessary information for pick up appointment. I made sure the information I shared ay ay ay ay. I included the information I share the tips in last class, previous class, or the part two.

I schedule the pickup appointment on a Wednesdays no weekends, from noon to 4pm and the Tuesdays from one To 5pm I think I missed something. Okay. 4pm if your potential buyers asked for different time of day, I take a static Christie's to ask if she's available. Then I schedule an appointment for the buyer and added appointment in my Google Calendar. You created a calendar for pickup. You can share the calendar with your friend, but Christy had a lot of things to do.

She fully trusted me and prefer not to share the colander this time. Here are some tips, my tips for you. One that pick up appointment times like to consolidate when I listed items for the first time, I didn't set up the timeframe for pickup appointments. They were spread all over the week. Expect this and appointments during the week. One in a Monday afternoon and one is on Wednesday evening.

That way we were so many interruption between our work especially evening appointment often canceled due to traffic. That Secondly, we can is the best for pickup. I used to spend my weekend to list items I used to spend my weekend so this items I was unable to these items as I wanted, especially at the beach this weekend. Because there were so many interruptions by answering phone calls and Casting and meeting the buyers. In the morning of the pickup, I send a reminder This example shows how I handle the waitlist on Saturday pick up appointment. If someone didn't confirm, you can contact to the second buyer as a backup.

Here's the tricky part. If the first buyer didn't confirm you if the first buyer didn't confirm you, but second buyer already booked an appointment A few hours later. A few hours before first buyer confirmed for pickup. What I did to avoid conflict, I send a reminder to first buyer like this. If the first buyer didn't confirm by 1pm and you have a second buyer appointment all that already. You can send a message to the first buyer by saving, saying sorry, saying, sorry someone booked for 3pm pick up today.

If he cancels, I will let you know. In that case, this first buyer would understand how First they need to be applied to get the great deal next time and how first you needed to sell your item how first we need to sell our item. Another technique is asking them to make a deposit to hold up hold on item. When I had a first buyer booked for Thursday, I had the second buyer contacted the pickups same day I told the second buyer that I already had the appointment on Thursday by the first buyer, the second buyer even offered more to buy, but I respect but I respect to but I just picked the first buyer appointment, I messaged to the first buyer for deposit, because there are over 90 inquiries, and some buyer was asking for more to pay. The first buyer didn't have a PayPal nor and are familiar with Facebook marketplace Facebook payment meter.

She explained it to me how badly she needs patio furniture like this as a fire pit on fire pit For her son's birthday, first for son's birthday party and promise to pick up. I decided to trust her over the 90 inquiries. Luckily, she showed up on time to pick up the set and the left more money than we are asking for our asking price by trusted her. That made us feel good. That made us to our decision was right. Here is the first cell example.

We just did Wednesday afternoon. Then we got the inquiry right away. We get an inquiry within 30 minutes I think almost right away and schedule the appointment same day and we meet I need the buyer and trans in cash that was this item like a real butterfly in a frame next example is slow sale items. This dining table steady use for open house. This set was included on the moving sell this thing on click list to reserve the pickup after open house. But no one contacted us for reserving this dining set after the house after house sold, and we finished the open house that's Status changed.

The status status has been changed from reserved to available for sale to pick up. asking price was 1200 dollars. I thought 700 or less would it be great to start because because of only four weeks to before a holiday season and we need to sell as quickly as possible. But the crystal detachment feeling appear again and people are less budget. Even though there's people are less budget than usual and cold the snowy season is coming. But Christie has not agreed on my starting price suggestion.

There were no inquiry for seven days. price was door $2,000 still no inquiry. The next week the price was lower to 800. We finally received five inquiry inquiries but no one interested to schedule for pickup yet. When, when searching for dining tables set within five miles I can hear us and five people were listening, a similar set but a little bit smaller, slightly smaller and different shape, but their price is between 150 to $300. I noticed that buyers and contacted us must be shopping around.

We dropped the price too dramatically from 800 to 502 weeks before the Thanksgiving weekend. Now we got more information wire is when the buyer came for pick up for the arms you said and she saw the dining table set and ask Christy for 250 to take but then she can take same or they can take the same day since they came with the truck, but Christie didn't want to sell for 250 she declined offer. If I if I offer I would sell the returning buyer for 250 That way I can list more items using respond responding more inquiries about the set, but if the certainly many unsold we have only two weeks remaining. After Christie declined, returning buyer offer, we had to lower the price to 484 50 403 50 while I was responding 20 more inquiries, the buyer scheduled for pickup and canceled last minutes.

Another buyer supported to come was stuck in traffic and other buyers canceled due to bad weather. On the seven days before the closing day, we finally sold the set for 350. That was also the returning buyer. The buyer almost canceled the last minutes because of the large truck driver may not be available. That was so close. Christie told me that she was right to decline for 250 offer.

Do you agree with her
