Residential moving can be stressful, but unloading some of your unwanted items can make the move a bit easier. There's an app for that, of course. In fact, there are several apps with the ability to help you sell your unwanted items. Let's look at five of the top choices.
LetGo
An app with the ability to save you time and help you sell items locally, LetGo provides an excellent platform for selling things. In fact, The Balance Everyday published a list of their 7 Best Local Selling Apps and LetGo was the top choice.
You'll have the ability to list your items in one of many categories ranging from clothing to games to furniture. In addition, you'll get to tag your items and make it easy for buyers to find what you're selling.
The LetGo App is free and can be downloaded for both iPhone and Android.
Facebook Marketplace
Another good app for selling locally is the Facebook Marketplace. Buyers can find your items and you can schedule a time to meet up together for the sale. The app is completely free and can be used on all platforms.
Carousell
According to MoneyPantry, Carousell is the top choice for selling your unwanted items locally before moving. This app is a bit newer than some of the others on the list and it's completely free to list your items. You can join special groups to help sell your items within your community, as well.
Once you've listed your item with the Carousell app, you can easily share the listing through social media channels, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The app is available for both iPhone and Android.
eBay
According to Techlicious, eBay is the bestselling app. With eBay, you can expect to get top dollar for your items, but you should expect to ship your items to the seller once they have completed the purchase.
The eBay app isn't as good for selling items locally as some of the others, but it can be great for selling higher-priced items. With this app, you're likely to get top dollar, but you will need to be willing to ship your items to the buyer.
OffferUp
Another great app for selling your item, OfferUp allows you to easily list and sell just about anything. It's available for both Android and iPhone and it's all about selling locally.
You won't have to ship anything with the OfferUp app and communicating with buyers is really easy. You can even bump your item back to the top of the listings at any time for a fee.
Along with these top five apps to help you sell your unwanted items before a move, there are several other options including:
Mercari
CPlus for Craigslist
VarageSale
Tradesy
ThredUP
Poshmark
Decluttr
All of these apps offer the ability to sell your items before you move. Whether you're looking to unload a piece of furniture or sell a video game collection, you can use one of these apps to find the right buyer.
