The Online Selling Store talks about eBay as an Upcycling Avenue

The Online Selling Store talks about eBay as an Upcycling Avenue

Once upon a time it made sense to tag sale at your home once a year. For tchotchkes and bric-a-brac perhaps a sunny Saturday afternoon sitting in your driveway haggling with strangers over your chipped milk pitcher or children's matchbox cars sounded like a homespun, lemonade stand piece of Americana.

An UPCYCLER - Indeed!

But where does one turn when it is time to sell your 2nd generation iPad as you are upgrading to the latest greatest something-point-”o” model, or a slew of Lladro figurines as you are downsizing and moving to Boca, or saying your goodbyes to your expensive Nikon Camera as the bell and whistles on this years version are calling your name? That is when a qualified, high end consignment business can be your best friend. It is a great way to upcycle, turning your useless "stuff" into found treasures for another. All this, while making a buck... Not a bad idea!  It is both green and profitable!

DOING IT YOURSELF is a NO NO!

One would ask...”Why not do it yourself?” Perhaps on a thirty dollar item, you can. But when you are putting an item that may be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars for auction on eBay, a business that is experienced in fielding the questions of potential buyers, that has evaluated the product to get the maximum value that the item is worth, that will pack it as if it came out of a manufacturers warehouse, makes all the difference in your item going from an unused dusty shelf to sold!

The old motto of “you get what you paid for” prevails in the world of eBay selling.

When you fly solo listing a high end item on your own, it often becomes a penny wise – dollar foolish situation. As much as people know to go to a qualified surgeon for an operation or a well recommended mechanic to repair a car, the benefits of dealing with an experience Consignment Business has similar benefits.

Having successfully sold a wide variety of merchandise including Chanel handbags, Mac Amplifiers, High end Cameras / Lenses , iPads, Telescopes, Designer Coats, Range Tops, Musical Instruments, Serigraphs and Paintings has given a broad ranged perspective to the abilities of a Consignment Business. Using a well trained, discerning eye to market a unique higher end product is a specialty.
