The Road Less Travelled

Entering the Marketplace

Suddenly we need to sell all of our white goods! This is stressful. I started with Shpock but literally every sale emerged to be a fraudster. I am very anti-socials but was persuaded by a friend of the advantage to be gained from FB Marketplace. Indeed the flurry of messages minutes after uploading was astonishing. I sold a Strimmer in minutes. Then waited in all night for someone who said they were coming for the dryer and didn’t show up (today I saw she actually was selling the same dryer for £40 more than me so something fishy going on. Then another person wanted to buy the dryer but then asked for my PayPal signin details (a bit of digging revealed he was from Nigeria). I think now someone more genuine maybe will come tomorrow for the dryer but so stressful and dispiriting. Why are there so many nasty people out there prying on the innocent.

Still haven’t uploaded the other three items. I am wondering how to price and sell the fridge freezer which cost £2000 new and so surely is worth at least £700 second hand. Anyone with any advice in these matters please let me know any hints.
