Many have recommended to me to consider the online shopping services to monetize items that I have in my home which is left idle. I could never do it. Somehow, I've gotten attached to it, be it small, big, cheap or expensive. Naturally, my home became a store full of stuff. My latest phase was on small gym equipments. With all the talks of being fit & having sufficient exercise sort of crept into my bones.
As such, one lazy afternoon, I decided to surf onto Lazada.. browsing thru indoor gym bicycles. Ah ! I found it, a blue ( my favourite color) bicycle which I could visualize myself using it ... perhaps 2-3 times a week. That was certainly wishful thinking on my side. I believe I would have the disciplinary to do so. After the purchase & using it for couple of months, the frequency dropped eventually. I could name the various excuses I used to tell myself as to why I wasn't using it anymore. Finally, it became a white elephant in our home.
When we finally move from a landed property to a condominium, it became clear to me that I wouldn't be using it at all. There was a well equipped gym just one button away. As I was browsing thru the different chat groups on Steemit, I found malaysia-household-items. Okay, let's try & sell it ! No harm in putting it up. I got an interested buyer just within minutes of putting it up ! I could not believe my luck.
We made plans to meet up during the weekend. No obligations. If it works out, then the deal is signed. Conclusion : buyer happy with product - sale made instantly - both buyer & seller happy.
Now that I have made my first successful sale online, I decided to move to my next sale. Perhaps this time payment is by Steem :)
