Tips To Get The Most Cash For Your Unwanted Goods:

• Stores expect to buy used items, but not abused items. All items must be in working order.
• Make sure your items are clean. The buyer sometimes takes the item at face value. So the better it looks the more money you are likely to get.
• Bring your electronic items with their accessories, like remotes, manuals etc
• Try to ensure that items have batteries and/or are charged so that you can show the buyer that it works.
• Sell technical items like cellular phones and computers as soon as possible. These items loose their value over time as new models come out continuously. So if you have an item like this, sell it now to ensure the model is still sought-after by someone else.
• Keep in mind the supply and demand for items. For example, there is not much of a market for heaters during summer so you will make more money if you sell it in time for winter, but you will get it for a good price if you buy it in summer.
• Have a look through the retail area in your local second-hand store. See what similar items are being sold for. They still have to sell your item/s for much less than they are currently being sold new. This will give you an idea of what you can expect to get for it.
• Save time by bringing in a few unwanted items at a time. This way the buyer can give you a higher value by including some smaller things.
• It is a good idea to look at what your item is being sold for now. The price of your item, new at the moment has probably changed since you bought it. Stores like Cash Converters value items according to what they are being sold for at the moment and what they can sell them for at a greatly discounted price.
• If you have the original packaging for an item, take it with to sell. This can improve the amount you get for it.
• Original invoices also help. It helps the buyer to determine what you paid for the item and provides a proof of ownership.
• Cash Converters stores have a zero tolerance policy on buying stolen goods. If you want to sell something to them, take some form of identification and if possible proof of ownership. If you no longer have proof of ownership, they have other ways to determine if the item is yours.
• When selling a printer (or similar item), ensure that it has all the software and cartridges.
• When selling a computer, you will be offered more money if it has a valid Windows licence.
• Stores pay more for trade-ins. In other words if you give them an item as part payment on something else that you want to purchase from them.
• You can make more money by selling items when they are in demand. For e.g.: Lawnmowers in summer.
• If you want to sell unwanted gifts, try to keep them in their original boxes.
