I've sucessfully sold on Gumtree with far greater regularity than Facebook or here- again I put this down to bigger audience.
Top tip, you can't "bump" your ad... you CAN copy the text, delete and repost very quickly using the app. I do this daily to keep my listings at the top. This approach vastly reduces the "I see your ad is 13 days old- it's never going to sell so I'll take it for a 75% discount" emails.
Use gumtree, forum classifieds, facebook, or other social media. The 'shpock' app seems to be taking off too, worth having a look at that.
If you get no joy from the free ads then next step is reverb.com, then the last resort if you are really desperate to sell is ebay.
I do not believe certain websites attract a certain type of person. That is absolute nonsense in my opinion. People are people. It's what you are selling, and how much you are selling it for that dictates what type of buyer (or tyre kicker) you will attract.
1. Realistic with your pricing
2. Patient
3. Not easily wound up by tyre kickers and time wasters
Personally I also still use ebay a lot. With well over 300 transactions I've never encountered a scam yet. If you want a guaranteed sale in a hurry then ebay is absolutely the way forward.
Back to Gumtree and Preloved .... and what's with the apathy over Preloved?
