The bottom line is that brand names infer quality and longevity. If people are buying second hand, they want something that has lasted well and that they probably wouldn't have paid for at new prices.
When buying remotely, the more they can understand about the condition, the more they will pay. This is where Charles's Marques comes in. Our focus is on being descriptive, honest and clear. The less of a gamble people take on what they are buying, the more they'll pay.
Keywords are vital as that's how your stuff gets found among millions of others.
Great photos let buyers see what they're getting.
Clear descriptions answer questions in advance and show that as a seller you're interested in helping and that the item has been cared for.
Provided that you own it and that it's legal, we can sell pretty much anything.
...however, unbranded items rarely sell well. Buyers rarely search for a "smartphone". They'd search for an "Apple iPhone 12" or a "Samsung Galaxy S22". Generic items get lost among the millions of others available.
Our approach of detail, honesty and professional photographs tends to yield 20% more than other sellers.
Among the items most under demand are unwanted gifts and brand new things where you missed the returns window.
With an online marketplace, you can reach much further than the local town. You can literally attract buyers from around the world.
Depending on the type and size of your item, there's a right and a wrong place to list it.
