Where is the cheapest place to sell the stuff in internet?

Hi all! What are the best places in internet to sell the stuff (for example musical instruments, gadgets etc). By the best I mean with the lowest fees. thanks.

  • may be eBay...
  • Lowest fees can be the wrong way to judge things. Ebay clearly doesnt have the lowest fees but does have one of the biggest number of users so greater chances of your item selling at a higher price by auction or selling at all on a fixed price.

    Amazon marketplace is pretty decent, otherwise gumtree would be your best bet. no fees. Craigslist too but that is still very small in the UK

    I belong to Facebook and there is a buy and sell page for my local area. There are no fees to pay and I've sold a few things through there quite easily. If I have stuff to sell it goes on there first. If it doesn't sell I use Preloved, or Freeads. I have sold stuff through ebay but their charges are quite high. It depends whether you're doing this as a business and setting up shop, or just selling your bits and pieces really.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    It's still very relevant today though as lots of people are looking to sell things to raise some cash.
