Selling Lots: Your Ultimate Guide to a Successful Sale (also to Opkopers like Kooistra)

PREPARATION - THE BASIS FOR SUCCESSFUL PARTY SELLING

A good start is half the battle: preparing your lot for sale

Before putting your consignments of goods up for sale, proper preparation is crucial. This not only increases the chances of a quick sale, but also a better price.

• Inventory Accurately:
  • What exactly are you selling? List the products in detail, including quantities, item numbers, specifications (sizes, colours, materials), and any brand and model information.
  • How many pieces per item are there? Are there variations?
• Determine the State of the Goods:
  • Are the products new, B-choice, returnable, slightly damaged, or end-of-season? Please be transparent about this.
  • Document any defects or details. Photos can help with this.
• Packaging and Presentation:
  • Are the goods still in their original packaging? If not, how are they packed?
  • Ensure an orderly presentation. A well-organised party makes a better impression.
• Set a Minimum Price (If Possible):
  • What is the absolute bottom price you want to receive for the lot? This will help in negotiations. Do realise that buyers often go for a quick, total purchase and a competitive price in return.
