Using eBay to help downsize
Using eBay to help downsize
What's coming up
Antonio is moving out of his suburban house into an apartment. He needs to dispose of items he's had in storage for many years, and items that will take up too much space in his new home.
In this activity, you’ll follow Antonio as he decides what to do with his unwanted items.
Start activityWhen you’re downsizing, you have to get rid of things
Antonio is selling up to move into a smaller home, so won’t have room for all his stuff. What should he do with it all? He thinks some of his things might have some value, so he doesn't want to just throw it all away.
Traditional solutions
Antonio could call a second-hand goods dealer to buy all his items, but he doubts that he will get a decent price for them. Instead, he decides to sell them himself and maybe get a better price.
What about eBay?
With the camera in his mobile phone to take pictures of the items he wants to sell, plus his computer, Antonio has all he needs to list his items for sale on eBay. It will involve a bit more work and take some preparation time, but he will probably get a good price for them.
In the activities ahead, we will see how Antonio uses eBay to dispose of his unwanted items.
Well done!
