Have lots of items that are still in good condition but rarely used? These used goods can be very profitable if you are able to turn them into a business to supplement your income. Not only clothes, but you can also sell electronic goods, furniture, books, and various used goods that are still suitable for use. Here's a simple way to make a profit from selling used goods.
1. Goods
To start a business selling used goods, you must focus on one type of item, for example, clothing, books, cosmetics, electronics, or furniture. After determining the type of goods to be sold, you can determine the intended target (buyer) as well as develop the ideal strategy to attract buyers.

2. Item Condition
Keep in mind that not all used goods can be sold. Used goods that can be sold are those that are still in decent and good condition. If there is indeed a slight flaw in the used goods you are selling, tell the buyer so they don't feel disappointed or cheated.
3. Price
Regardless of the good condition of the goods you are going to sell because this business is selling used goods, you must be realistic about giving prices. The price offered must of course be lower than the original price of the item when it was new. If you give a price that is not much different from the price of a new item, it is likely that the buyer will not be interested in buying it. Don't forget to do promotions in various ways, both offline such as word of mouth, brochures, and also online (social media).
