how to resell the gifts you don’t want?

This year again Santa Claus was generous, but was not always right. If you adore your aunt, the same cannot be said for the awful sweater she gave you. Rather than hiding it in your wardrobe, you can give it a second life by reselling it online. According to a study, 1 in 2 French people plan to resell one of their Christmas gifts if it does not suit them. Among the top resold gifts are games and toys, high-tech products, books and childcare items. If the practice is sometimes criticized, above all it allows you to achieve good business. Here are some tips and addresses for easily reselling gifts you don’t want to keep.

Take good photos

Who says online sales, says photo worthy of the name. To highlight this magnificent sweater, which will certainly delight an Internet user, it you will have to photograph it from every angle. Feel free to post worn photos for clothing and detailed photos for high-tech products. You can also photograph the invoice to reassure potential buyers.

Keep the packaging

If possible, do not hesitate to keep the product packaging. For a telephone for example, do not open the blister if you know that the product does not suit you and you wish to resell it. For clothing, you will have to keep the labels to hope to get a good Price.

Sell ​​at the right price

If you have not purchased this item, you must find out its purchase value. Do not hesitate, when possible, to check the resale prices, by comparing with other advertisements. For example, you can offer a discountto find a buyer more quickly.

Find the right site

To reach a buyer more quickly, you will need to choose your platform carefully. LeBonCoin, eBay, Rakuten, Vintedet Momox are in our opinion the four most practical platforms for quickly reselling an item you were given for Christmas. But it may also be worth taking a look at certain specialized platforms (e.g. Vinted for clothing). Do not hesitate to be honest about the reason for the sale and to give as many details as possible about the product.

Give or barter

If you are more in a generous mood, you can also head to barter or donation sites. Donnons.org or Mytroc offers this type of service. This is also the case of toutdonner.com.

You now have all the keys in hand to resell your Christmas gifts with peace of mind. To avoid unpleasant surprises next year, you can always rely on the traditional Santa list or opt for version 2.0. The i-wantit application allows, for example, to create a list that can be shared with everyone and avoids duplicates.
