Tips on Organizing Items For Sale Using iTaggit RSS

Total Views: 567 Blog Rating:
I have been cleaning out the closet and am getting ready for an online garage sale of sorts.  I have camping gear.  I decided to use iTaggit to help organize it prior to sale.  I thought I would post some tips for those of you out there that might be thinking of the same thing.
  1. Create a For Sale Collection  - I started out by creating a collection to store all the items I am planning on putting up for sale.  Then just start loading in some of the items you want to sell.  A quick way to do this is to go to Amazon and find a it to get things started.
  2. Research the Item - Once you get some loaded in, start researching the items using iTaggit's research tools. I not only found some similar items on sale at eBay to give me some values.  I also found some review sites that gave me some good description of it's features.  I not only put this in the description field, but I also put web links in to lead those interested to the actual reviews of the item I was trying to sell.
  3. Post the Item For Sale - There are a number of options out there to sell your item.  Start with friends and family.  You can put  a link to your item in an email.  Check out Yahoo groups to see if there is a group set up to sell and swap similar gear.   Also you can check the social boards in the area of interest and look for classified sections in their forums where you can post a link.  Of course there is eBay if you like the online auction approach. With the Publish feature, you can create HTML to paste directly into eBay.
  4. Track Interest in Item - Once you get the item posted, you can monitor the number of views to see if you are getting any interest from a posting.

You can see my first attempt.  I am selling one of my backpacks.  Let me know if you are interested :)...
