The theme this week on the One Minute Retirement Tip is “Try Selling on Facebook Marketplace and Finally Get Rid of Your Clutter”.

Yesterday I talked about the types of items that sell like hotcakes on Facebook Marketplace. Today I'm talking about the other side of the coin to that which is the worst items to sell on Facebook Marketplace. And believe me if there's anything that I can teach you about using Facebook Marketplace is what I can teach you from the mistakes that I have made in the junk that I have tried to sell and unload on Facebook Marketplace. Here are just a few items that I have tried to sell unsuccessfully on Facebook Marketplace:

• A Christmas dinnerware set. I'm actually a little disappointed in this one because I thought this was so fantastic. It's cute, it's Christmas Eve, and the set is complete and has pretty much never been used. By the way this one is still listed on Facebook so contact me if you want to buy it.
• Another category of items that just sells terribly on Facebook and by terribly I mean not at all or Handbags and wallet I've tried to sell a couple of Coach items on there a really expensive Tumi leather tote bag on there, and have much had zero responses on those items. I think the real trouble here is that I probably want more for them than what they're worth, and I just need to lower the price. but my ego can't bear the thought of parting ways with my $400 Tumi tote bag for less than a hundred bucks considering it's still in excellent condition.
• yesterday I mentioned how well Electronics cell but that needs to be taken with a grain of salt because outdated Electronics I find don't generally sell that well. Last year I actually tried to get rid of one of those big boxy old TVs, and I had actually listed it for free and I couldn't even get rid of it for free. I finally did but it took a really long time to find somebody who wanted that thing.

An article I stumbled upon while researching ideas for this week's tips was an article titled: Facebook Marketplace: the world's worst flea market. The article was 5 years old and poo poos Facebook Marketplace as a legitimate platform, however five years later that proves to be wrong. There is some truth in the sentiment of this article which is there are just certain things that are junk and should not be sold on Facebook.

I think you can sell pretty much anything on Facebook, especially if it's not too Niche, and it's priced right. I'll talk about pricing in more detail tomorrow, but when it comes to the worst items to sell on Facebook I think the key to keep in mind is that most everything can sell at a good price, that's in good condition.

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening. My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
