Advice on selling my Tumi backpack
 
Hey guys! I am new here! So good to meet everyone! I am currently unemployed and needing to offload some stuff. I have a very nice Tumi Nomadic backpack that I need to sell so I can pay some bills for my family (third baby on the way). Trying to figure out the best place to do that. Any thoughts?

eBay?

Thanks!

ha. I haven’t thought of eBay in so long… Good point.

Ebay if you're willing to ship. If you do it as an auction, look up strategy tips online (e.g., set the auction to end on a Friday evening).

Otherwise look at Facebook Marketplace. I have sold a bunch of things on there over the last year or so. Only about 10% of the leads actually turn into sales, but some things where I have multiple items turn into repeat customers or they get more than one.

You could also try Craigslist but I have had zero luck on there in the last few years.

You'll probably make the most on Ebay since negotiation is limited, if you even permit it. On FM I typically agree to 15-20% off what I list it for; sometimes I list higher with this in mind, but that often leads to fewer responses.
