Don't do this for only 10 bucks... put a decent price on your items because people are going to bargain with you and you can always come down.
Try to screen the people who contact you by getting THEIR phone number & CALLING it - that way you have a record of their number just in case
ALWAYS HAVE A CELL PHONE IN YOUR HAND when they come to your home...
IF you can - have someone there with you when selling
MEET THEM OUTSIDE ...What I did was bring things to my front steps when I knew someone was coming to see unless it was a big item - then I had no choice
Put up your EXPENSIVE THINGS - don't leave anything tempting out for strangers in your house. |
I am so sorry about your husband, this is the first time I read about it. You are so young. I am so sorry for you loss.
