Have
you
ever noticed how many people park their cars outside their garages
because the garages
are full of stuff that they don't use? Many people have lots of stuff
that they
have no use off but are in good conditions which other people can make
use of.
Garages and store rooms are fool of these items and are potential
goldmines gathering
dust. Some of that stuff is junk to them because they have no use of as
I've
said; and some of that junk sells for lots of cash on Free Online Classified Ads Sites.

Consignment
selling is an excellent
way to find a lot of products to sell on Free Online Classified Site.

Consignment
Sale


Definition
(www.businessdictionary.com [http://www.businessdictionary.com]): Trading
arrangement in which a seller sends goods to a buyer or reseller who
pays the
seller only as and when the goods are sold. The seller remains the
owner (title
holder) of the goods until they are paid for in full and, after a
certain
period, takes back the unsold goods.

The process of
consignment selling

The
process
of consignment selling is very simple:- collect items from clients,
list those
items on Free Online Classifieds [http://www.junkmail.co.za/],
split the profits, and find more items to sell. You don't have to buy
stock up
front and there is basically no risk of losing any money on items that
don't
sell. If you don't have space to keep the stuff, for example you
working from
home. You do not have to keep the items your self, just go around to
your
clients place and take good quality pictures of the item/s and post the
ad/s
with free online classifieds with a good description of the item/s and
photos.
With the later option you will save on overheads like rental and other
expenses.
Be
sure to get the terms in writing.

You may ask your self,
what stops people
from selling their own items online.

Selling on Online Classifieds takes time and work.
If you
have already sold a few items on Online Classifieds site, you know
there is
work involved in the selling process. For many sellers the process
seems easy
because they enjoy doing it, but if you calculate the time involved in
a
typical sale, you would typically find that each item takes an hour or
more to
sell.

Consider every part of the selling process. You
could spend
5 to 30 minutes on each of the following tasks:

• researching prices



• taking
  photographs



• cropping,
  resizing and editing photographs



• writing a
  description



• listing
  the item



• answering
  questions



• corresponding
  with the buyer (e.g. to obtain
  payment) etc.

Realizing how much work can go into a successful
sale, an
hour starts looking rather reasonable.

Selling on Online Classifieds Site takes
experience. Yes, anybody
can sell products online, but how many people know how to list a
product
correctly? How many people know how to research a product to maximize
profits?
If a person has never sold anything online, selling on Online
Classifieds can
be a scary task.

Most households could easily find ten or more
items that are
no longer of any use to them, and would raise a few hundreds or
thousands in
total if sold on Online Classifieds. However, many people are either
too busy,
do not enjoy working on computers, or simply cannot be bothered to sell
their
own stuff, are the potential customers for consignment sellers. Other
common
clients are businesses with slow-moving stock, particularly those with
limited
space to display their stock, such as car and antique dealers.

Always remember
that you're
doing this to generate income and to build your own business, therefore
you
have to be professional, trustworthy and provide good customer service
in all
your business dealings. Partly or mostly the success off your business
will rely
on word of mouth from satisfied customers who will refer you to their
friends
and family members. Do some research on how you are going to charge or
price
your service keeping in mind the expenses you will incur by doing this,
but do
not over charge.
