Posted 13 Jan 2017 Hi all, I have a question about pricing used items. I'm leaving Germany in a month or two, and will be placing my stuff for sale here, at work, on ebay etc. I was wondering if there is any sort of unofficial pricing rule here in Germany. I was considering giving them half price from what I got them, but someone told me you sell at half price if the item is a year old, and mine are all about 4 years to 4,5 years old. Basically, it's all good stuff in good state, anything that isn't I'm either going to be throwing out or giving for free. Thanks in advance! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2017 Personal advice here! 4-5 yeas is old, so I would offer half what I paid for it, and be very flexible. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2017 If you really want to get rid of it start at half. No bites after a couple of day, take more off of the price. If you are selling clothes I'd definitely start with a bigger discount than 50%. That kind of discount you can get new on sale. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2017 Hi both, thanks, that's what I was thinking, suggest a starting point around 50%, and be flexible. In the end, I simply don't want to have to throw them out... it'd be a waste, it's good stuff. I'm talking more about big things, like furniture, the kitchen and appliances and so on. I tried selling DVDs and books at 1-2 euros each, but doesn't look like there's interest. And clothes, I'll just give them to a charity shop. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 13 Jan 2017 For DVDs and books if you want to make a little money off of them I'd recommend Momox. You get a little money (and I mean a little) and there is no dealing with random buyers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
