I use this platform from time to time when I need an almost instant cash injection because it flat out works.
The only people who look at this site are looking to buy something.
Sometimes they search for keywords, and sometimes they only browse, but they are all looking for a bargain.
I sometimes buy something because I know it's worth more than the asking price with a better description.
Sometimes it's an item that's not working that I know I can fix.
That is the art of business.
It's all arbitrage.
One retail business I worked in had a policy of buying a product, adding the freight cost to the buy price and then marking it up by a fixed percentage.
For me, that's the wrong way to go about it.
The right price for any product is what the buyer is happy to pay.
If I can't make a profit at that price, I don't buy it.
When I've been in business, I always worked on that.
Sometimes I made large profits and sometimes not, but I always make a profit.
It's the same with this marketplace.
When I buy something, it has to be selling for less than I think I can sell it for, or I don't buy.
The marketplace is the Facebook marketplace.
All local transactions, cash sales, any product you can think of.
I made several thousand dollars in time for Christmas last year in the space of a few weeks.
I could do the same on any classified or auction sites.
The auction sites are a bit slow for getting paid, but they work well to maximise your return if you've under or over estimated the selling price of your item.
Clear out your backroom, storage cupboard or shed and put some cash in your pocket.

P.S. While that's a great way to unclutter and pocket some cash, it's not going to change your life much.
Some people take this to a whole new level by hitting up the local garage sales and picking up bargains to resell.
This does take some skill in identifying what has value and what doesn't, but you can learn that skill.
The real skill, though, comes with writing the product description.
The headline and the description are mini-review pages.
It's excellent practice for a skill you'll need in your online marketing business.
You can track and test until you make a sale, then you can do it again.
