I have sold quite a few things in Let it go and Offer up as well, but don't really like those sites anymore. They used to be good for local selling, but the last time I was using them they were advertising nationally. I didn't see any button to turn it off either. I have a really lovely, and probably vintage FalI , Halloween plate I want to sell. You can even hang it on the wall. I was thinking of Etsy or Bonanza market. Have you sold on either? I will send iit wherever it needs to go.

I have sold both on Ebay and FB Marketplace. The only thing I don't like about either is that the buyers often would low-ball me, and would spam me with messages, thinking it will stress me out enough to agree to their offer.

@snowy22315 I am glad to get rid of things and getting something instead of donating is better than nothing. We have sold the miniature trains of my husband to a local collector and they were both happy of the deal.

There was a company under eBay called Half, and I used to sell books through them, but they ceased to exist about five years ago. They mainly let you sell your books, DVDs, DVD players, TVs, and video games.

These days I find eBay to be kind of unwieldy. I want to try other sites

It is a really cool looking plate. As a matter of fact, I should bring it out here. It has dark leaves on n orange background The trim is black and orange, I would post a pic if I could.

I haven't used any sites to sell anything. I normally pack up what I don't want and take it to the Salvation Army store in town. I don't like dealing with people when it comes to selling things.

Most of them aren't too bad.

I've only sold on eBay; and that was years ago. Shipping got so expensive; and I was unable to stand and walk around to take pictures. Good luck. Hope you have a great day.

I've only sold on Ebay and had good experiences whenever I listed something.

I sold a few things on there but it is kind of a hassle. There are so many sellers too, that you have to do something different or pay money to stand out.

My eBay sales have declined massively. The platform's become too complicated to list on, and my listings don't seem to get the same visibility that they used to a few years ago. On top of that, fees always seem to be going up. My other selling platforms are Etsy, Ebid and Amazon. Etsy's good for selling vintage stuff, and I have low but reasonably steady sales there. Most of what I sell isn't suitable for Amazon, so I only sell on there once in a blue moon. Ebid's where I have the majority of my listings these days, and I'm trying to promote my shops there, but sales are sporadic. It's great for sellers in the sense that the fee structure's a lot friendlier than the competition, but not being as well known it doesn't get the same level of traffic. So I have to put more effort into promotion. It's good when I make a sale though, they don't fleece you like eBay does.
