Feed Interest – You must feed the interest of potential buyers by providing a lot of pictures.

Take shots from different angles for the benefit of your viewers too!

Include its main purpose or how it can be used. You may even provide a bit of background info courtesy of online search engines! So do some homework!

Be honest – You should never forget to mention flaws and damages (major or minor) found in the item. Remember, your readers already know that it’s re-used, so they’re not expecting something that’s polished and brand new. At least be honest about the exact condition of the merchandise so that your buyers may decide well.
