I love buying and selling used items.my old vacuum cleaner is not working very well (wires don't go into it) so I put it online for 20 euro (with lots of accessories) and sold it yesterday

Today, I picked up a pretty decent used one for 25.

Mellie didn't like my vacuuming and barked and followed me everywhere.

@faab64 So people knew it wasn't working well but bought anyway, maybe for some other reason like spares?
What's best platforms for selling?
Thanks

No, I live in south of France. People move in for seasonal work and leave at the end of season.

Here I use the site leboncoin.fr which is a pretty good site, decent quality and security, plus, this weekend, all items shipped anywhere in France up to 10kg is only 1 euro (paid by the buyer).

You can choose to pay in cash (local) or via their app, plus the charge that is increasing all the time and now it's minimum 1 euro and up to 10 depending on the item.

@faab64 So I still didn't get the connection with someone buying a used hoover (which I'm sure many know they can also get a new for cheap in any shop) and then the mention of the seasonal work as the answer... (?) I didn't get that connection, sorry.

Interesting site you mention though. Only in France I guess.

@freeschool
Just to clarify, ths vacuum cleaner worked well, the only problem was that the cord doesn't go into the unit.

@faab64 ok that was *different* to first version you said! hehe :)

Guess there is feedback etc on that site?... (I couldn't get past the popup which I didn't want to click anything and couldn't get rid of)

@freeschool
Yes. It has feed back, shopping guarantee (money released only if they item fits the description) and return

#Mastobay HASHTAG FOR EXCHANGE / GIVEAWAY / GIFT ECONOMY... 

@faab64 Why doesn't somebody make a Mastodon style light version of for our I wonder!

Maybe the hashtag is enough!

Trust is pretty high here (more intellectuals doing things safer) and to start with could even be for the older members using the hashtag.

People are promoting their art using so "" etc could be possible for more...

Anyway let's start with some small things as a test:

for to many
for /
for

NO money said or privately DM's only to avoid the public money regulation)

"" could be just something we talk about using hashtag until we take it more seriously!

What do you think?
