Have you ever sold something secondhand, and how did it go?

B Natural answer

Yes, I have. I sold an old desk chair after I moved to a smaller apartment. I listed it online and wrote a clear description, so people knew exactly what they were getting. I had a few messages, but one buyer came the next morning and looked serious. I priced it a little lower than I hoped because I wanted to sell it quickly, and that worked. We agreed on the spot, and they picked it up the same evening. It was pretty straightforward, and I learned that good photos make a big difference.
