Preparation Steps:
-
Gather all items that you want to sell in one central accessible location (i.e., garage where customers can walk up, pick up their items, and depart)
-
Recommend to have 100-200 individual items, you can have up to 400 which won't be too overwhelming, or lots of same/similar with a value of minimum $20.
-
Number your items/lots. We use painters tape as to not damage any pieces.
-
Take pictures of your items/lots - take one cover to capture what is being sold. You want to take multiple angles (top/bottom, and sides). Do close-ups of any tags that could help identify your pieces. DISCLOSE DAMAGE! Suggest to take pictures of your tape number on the item lot first - then the pictures to follow. It will help when you upload your pictures.
-
You may also start writing down your titles that will describe the item being sold.
