Tips to Help you Sell on FreeAds
Price
Sells
Keep
your prices reasonable. Buyers are smart and they will know if your
items are priced too high. Sell it for what it is worth based upon
the condition or comparative values. Auctions make things sell and
sometimes for much more then you would have believed. If you sell
with Auctions, it helps to keep your reserve price low. Research the
value and sell your guns or gear at a fair market price.
Good
Photos
Men
are visual. Generally they do much better with a photo then a written
description. Take good photos.
One
very simple technique to get evenly-lighted, high-quality pictures
with today's point and shoot cameras is to photograph your guns
outside in the shade. Just put the camera's light quality setting on
Auto or Shade and turn the flash Off. Place the item to be
photographed on a neutral background and shoot away. Any background
with a medium tone will work best and black or white backgrounds
might trick the camera into taking too light or dark of a photo. Some
excellent backgrounds that will provide a good exposure might include
concrete, medium-toned wood, or mid-toned sheets and blankets or
anything that would look Gray in a black and white photo.
