What is the best online marketplace to get best price for my stuff I do not need anymore?

Well, if you cannot sell a 40 inch LED TV for anything above £30 then something is wrong with the marketplace.

Or the ad, or the item.....

There are plenty that have sold way above that price - have you checked the completed and sold listings for your make/model?

Perhaps you have unfavourable terms, a non desirable model, collection only from an obscure place....no one can say without knowing where you are and what it is and what the ad said. Perhaps compare sold items to what you are selling.

Brand new 40" delivered from Amazon £200 ish. So a used one with an unknown life expectancy would be around £30 - £50 in my mind.

Add in the costs to collect the item and you limit the number of buyers and the final price further.

So nothing wrong with the market, your exact item, the advert and your location will vary the final value. Depends what you think its worth though.

You may have paid a lot of money for it but with a new budget one around £200 it may have lost a lot of value.

My view is you should price yourself a little high with the aim of selling about 30% and then get shot of the rest for whatever you can.

Looking at secondhand stuff I see a lot of dark photos with next to no description.

Something like a TV I'd want to see a photo of it working and plenty of pictures showing it's condition.

It's better to say there is a scratch here with a photo of it than just stating good condition as if you've taken the time to list defects buyers should then be confident the rest of the item is free from any further defects.

For a TV I'd like to know the main points (like how many HDMI ports) but a copy and paste of the manufactures spec is usually a lot of jargon that people ignore, those who want to know all this probably won't be buying second hand for £30.

Unless you have something special 99p auctions are generally a waste of time but a BIN can see a sale.

Plenty of things that would only get the 1 bid at 99p could easily pick up a £5 BIN if the effort goes in to the description and photos.
