@Sheldon702 welcome to the forum,,,,,,you think offerup wants you to pay to promote so that you can sell?,,,,,,,offerup has nothing to do with your item selling,,,,,,,,,thats all on you,,,,,,,,,,if your items were all listed the same time and now they are all way down on the feed,,,,,,,the promote would bring them high up on the list again so more people would see them,,,,,,maybe the things that didnt sell are priced too high,,,,or things that just wont sell in your area,,,,,,,i think the ideas above are good tips

@Kidzx5 another idea is to put it in a storage shed and hold out for a good price if you have the time and it is something you would enjoy doing,,,,,,,,,,or ,,,,try selling the whole lot for one price ,,,,,,or donate and get a tax deduction from goodwill

I am very curious how sellers figure out the value or the items they are trying to sell and how they decide on the price to list stuff at.,,,,,,,Recently i see a lot of people at good will looking for things to buy and resale on offerup,,,,,,they buy for ten dollars ,,,then try to sell for fourty,,,,,,then complain and get upset when someone offers them the going rate,,,which is what good will sells most stuff for.,,,,,,Offerup is mostly sold local,,,,,so,,,,,the local price for stuff is what goodwill , salvation army and other second hand stores get.,,,,,,,,,,for me i try to price acording to what someone else has sold for,,,,,,,,,,not what someone esle is trying to sell for.,,,,,,some stuff i hold out for a higher price,,,,I would like input from others on this.

@followthedon,,,,,,if i was posting fine art,,,,,,depends on what it is of course,,,,but lets say paintings,,,,,,,,,,,,,i would post in,furniture,,,,,,antiques,,,,,,,,household,,,,,,,,,collectables,,,,,,arts and crafts,,,,,,,,maybe even sports and outdoors,,,,,,,,and boats and marine,,,,,,,,,,all depending on what the art is,,,,,,,,,,,and i would post at differnt times,,,,,,,so i would have something at the top of the main page as much as possible,,,,,,,,and i might even put one in a catagory that moves slower , like in my area it would be general and books,,,,,,,,,,that way more chance of someone clicking on one of them,,,,,,if they like the work,,,,it will lead them to look at the rest of your listings.

so far all my sales have been to people that dont have very high ratings yet,,,,the two highest rated ones ive encountered are the two that didnt follow through once they said they were gonna buy something,,,,,,,,one did say he was sorry,,,,,,,one just never responded again.,,,,,,,,,offerup is new enough and growing so fast that there are more people that have not been on offerup long enough to build up a lot of ratings,,,,,im one of them,,,,,,,,,,but so far all my sales have been good,,,,,,,at this time with offerup being so new ,,,,,,,,,,and the ratings system being what it is,,,,,,,i dont pay attention to how many stars or transactions theyve had,,,,,,,,,,but i do like seeing that they have confirmed phone and email,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,also i dont care if someone has their picture up,,,,,,,,,i dont think putting our pic up on our profile is good for some,,,,,some of the pretty ladys are bothered by guys that just want to meet them instead of being interested in buying their items.

If a seller doesnt want to be disturbed,,,,,,,,,archive your stuff,,,,,,,offer up is fast paced sales,,,,when a buyer sees something he expects to make a deal,,,,,,,NOW,,,,,,,,if you want a store,,,,,take it too ebay,,,,,,,,,,,some of you dont seem to even get what makes offerup so popular with buyers,,,,,,,,,,without buyers ,,,,,,,you sellers would not be selling

I dont see why anyone would have a problem with someone buying something and flipping it,,,,,,,,,,,once we sale it ,,,,,,,its not ours,,,,,,back when i owned an antique shop,,,,all the other shop owners purchased stuff from me and resold it,,,,,,one guy used to buy something almost every week,,,,,,i learned a lot from him,,,,,,he would find stuff in my shop and buy for maybe 35 dollars,,,,,,and after a while i started asking how much he was gonna sell it for,,,,,,he would explain stuff about it and sometimes he was gonna get ten times as much,,,,,,,,,it was all a learning experience.,,,,,,,once you sale something,,,,,,,,,,,,its not yours to concern yourself about anymore,
