Ok sure...let's put this info here where everyone can use it.

I am going to assume that everyone knows about Craigslist and some alternates (like Kijiji for instance). I assume people know about Ebay and selling on Amazon (Amazon FBA)...if not, there is a fairly extensive set of info on thie board for Ebay certainly and probably a bit on Amazon FBA.

SO FACEBOOK...FB has GROUPS for everything...I mean EVERYTHING. Anyone can start one for FREE. I took over admin duties for 2 of the yard sale groups in my area. These are just like they sound...people sell yard sale items and it quickly can get in front of a literal TON of people, complete with pics etc. BEST PART...IT IS FREE...no fees, no nothing.

So to find these groups, use the search facebook box in the upper left once you log into facebook. Try terms like, "yard sale <insert county or close city name>". In my case, there are several for Athens, GA, several in Oconee County, several in Clarke County and many more in other surrounding counties. All of these might be where I do business, so I become members of all of them. Read the rules of that group (I have a fairly extensive list of them to keep out bullSH%^ and fake accounts). List or buy stuff...just that simple. Now, there can be specialized groups...I help admin "North GA Big Boy Toys"....cars, motorcycles, 4 wheelers, tools...you name it. There are groups for tools, clothes...**** near anything since starting a group takes minutes and is free. To put it in perspective, I have 7500+ members on each of my groups. We get 40-50 posts a day many times. I can post items I have and generally sell them within hours or a few days.



you can explore the group search to find all sorts of things, and I would suggest you do so...many times it can affect or be a source for your business. MAKE SURE TO READ THE RULES...if it says NO business posts, don't submit one for approval...many admins will just ban you from the group. Be nice to the admin, they can ban you with a click...I have done so quite a few times to asshats or fake accounts.

Feel free to hit me up if you have questions and I will help when I can. Hope that gives you enough to start with.
