Do you have any personal favorite techniques for selling items on craigslist/ebay? Do you think that big companies use similar or different techniques to sell their products?
I have only actually sold a couple of things online, most of them being textbooks that I couldn't sell back to the bookstore. I would say my techniques are pretty simple. I describe the item honestly and in detail, to make sure there isn't any confusion of the condition of the item. I also try to show a picture of the item, so that the person buying it knows what they are buying and can visually see it. I think companies try to do this, but with big companies, there also comes a lot of small text. They could advertise something as "on sale" but underneath in small print might read must spend over $50. But when you can visually see the item in a magazine or online, I think it increases your chances of a sale dramatically. Have you ever had instances where you think something is a really good deal, but then you find out about the small print?
