Ya never know...could be the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant!!
Now, if it’s one of those crystal skulls, we’re in trouble...
We have sold things through Facebook Marketplace.
Also, if you join a private FB group that is interested in your items (like a type of collectible), you will be selling to a motivated pool of buyers.
For shipping we use PirateShip.com, has reduced rates through the USPS (up to 30%). You would need a small scale, like a digital kitchen scale, you measure the box, put in the zipcode of the buyer, and the weight, and it calculates the rate. Keeps a record also. PirateShip links to your credit card and bills it when you print out the shipping label.
For larger boxes, I put a mixing bowl on the scale, reset the weight to zero and put the box atop the bowl to get the weight.
Buyer pays you through Paypal, and you give the buyer an invoice that includes shipping and they send the money to your Paypal account. Then you ship. We give the buyer the USPS tracking number.
We ship via USPS Priority Mail as that is the most cost effective and fast way—Parcel post is like ten cents less (yes, 10 cents!) With Pirate Ship, the box is insured to $100, whereas regular USPS Priority Mail is only $50.00.
Best part is, since you have prepaid the shipping and it has a label, you just drop off the box at the post office—no waiting in line!
I just go to the counter, and put my box there and walk away. The looks I get from people on line are priceless!
Anyone can sign up for PirateShip, you don’t have to be a business.
The reason I do the mixing bowl thing, is that I have a small digital kitchen scale, and a larger box will obscure the readout.
Oh,USPS will come and pick up your packages as well. Don’t even have to go to the PO.
We’ll move to your area and try to MCGA/MCSA.
I know it’s likely in vain, but we’ll all enjoy the weather, and each other’s company, while we’re at it.
I can dream, right?
Can you tell the TX heat (and, humidity 😛) is getting to me?
I’m curious also
thanks exit. The USPS won’t insure anything without a receipt of purchase, and I’m not sure any other carriers would. They won’t take your word or anything else as to worth. That’s the experience I’ve had with them. I had a PayPal account many years ago, then it got hacked, fortunately I hadn’t used it.
Yes! It’s usually not humid here, but it is now. Ugh!
you’d love my story.
Sounds like a plan. Y’all com’ on down!

BIDEN: “We need to go community-by-community, neighborhood-by-neighborhood, and oft times door-to-door, literally knocking on doors” to get people vaccinated.
That is a GREAT sign, exit.
I’ll post it, should THIS nonsense ever come to pass....
