Find a good piece

Fix it fast
Clean first. Tighten screws. Fill chips. Then paint or oil and seal.
Safety note: Old paint dust can be harmful. Be careful if you sand older paint.
Price with a simple rule

What to include in your listing
- Title: type + size + key material - Price: firm or best offer - Condition: honest, short - Dimensions: L x W x H - Brand: if known - Pickup notes: stairs, tight turns - Time windows: when you can meet - Delivery: yes/no and cost - Flaws: show once in photos
Use 3 price bands
Pick one band based on your goal.
- Fast sale price
Sells quick. Fewer messages. - Fair price
Good value. Good profit. - Stretch price
Try first. Drop later if needed.
Rule: If it sits for 7 days, adjust the price.
Photos that make buyers say yes
Use this 5-shot plan. It works on every piece.
The 5-shot photo plan
1) Wide shot (shows the whole piece) 2) Front straight-on (clean and bright) 3) Close-up texture (wood, fabric, finish) 4) One flaw photo (honest builds trust) 5) Scale shot (tape measure in frame)
Three photo rules: daylight, clean background, straight angles.
Price it so it sells
A simple price floor protects your profit.
