A tutorial on Selling on RCU
HI all, you know the saying, one mans trash is another mans treasure, well so true.
Most people, when they enter a new hobby,start at the bottom and work their way up to the most expensive equipment, all that stuff, they no longer need, can be used by a beginner.
Their are several points, I would like to share to others, from years of experience, to make every one happy.
1-never trash, someones add.
2-if you don"t have some thing nice to say, say nothing.
3-always post a picture of the items for sale.
4-always give a full description of the items for sale. 1-Quantity
2-Condition, don"t lie
3-Reason for selling, example, I"ve moved up.
5-when some one has some thing for sale, do a search
1-their profile
2-their rating
3-their recent posts
4-their location
5-their terms of sale
6-their shipping method
7-what is the actual cost new
6-Don't low ball some one, a far price is usually no lower than 50 % of the new price.
7-make a offer on ( shoppers control panel)
8-if your offer is refused, make another offer
9-as a seller, he has the right to pick which ever offer, he desires. The first come offer has no place in sales.
10-when a offer is excepted, send a invoice.
11-if sending a money order, etc. to the seller, I always like to email the seller a pic of the MO.
12-when mailing the item sold, I always email the buyer a pic of the item, just before mailed.
13-when you receive the item 1-examine it, immediately.
2-notify the sellar, you received the item.
14- and lastly, rate the seller/buyer
any other comments I missed, or you don"t agree on, chime in.
