PROGRAM: Peg Sennett - Selling Treasures on the Internet - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
During the winter months, Peg realized she had boxes of "treasures" that remained from recent downsizing and moving to a new home. She decided to embark on an adventure of listing these items for sale on the internet so someone else could enjoy them. She spent much time researching what sites to use to list things, taking photos of the items, researching what reasonable prices to ask for them, etc. After much discovery Peg decided that Marketplace on Facebook was the best site for her to use.
Peg showed pictures of some of some of the items she put out on the internet - cowboy things, glassware, coin collections, microscope, cowboy banjo.
One of the first items she put out there was a set of western sheriff badges. she communicated back and forth with several people on the internet and even posted on e-bay. This turned out to be a very negative experience.
As for unusual experiences, she sold some items to a lady who has a whole western theme in her backyard; a red cord wall phone that went to a lady who was remodeling her kitchen in an 80's retro theme in reds and yellows; and another lady who buys things then just stores them in her attic with looking at them!
Peg expressed that she did not get into this for the money but for the interesting stories that she learns about. However, to date she has made $1257.00!!!
So if you see Peg in the parking lot of Rite-aid transferring unusual items for $$ with someone, you will know why!!!
