This was inspired by Jacki's post: How to Make Money on Craigslist. Her dad managed to sell a telescope for a tidy profit just before a total lunar eclipse. In a way, I'm glad I didn't buy it, since it was cloudy over here. Of course tonight would have been a different matter...I digress. As usual. The trick is, of course, to know your target audience, or "mark". If you're selling an astronomical telescope, simply post a picture of the instrument with a human beside it to give an idea of scale. Shortly before a major astronomical event.
* $150. That's only £75. Weeps *
If you're selling a small car, make it seem larger by getting a small person to pose beside it, or better still, inside it.
And if you're selling a generator: again, put someone in the picture near it, so that the buyer knows just how big they are. It is.
Is it just me or is it hot in here?
It's just you !!!
ReplyDeleteLOL....this is great!! Something my dad will appreciate. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMan I like you !!!!
ReplyDeleteEspecially if I interpret your post as I am the male equivalent >>sales booster<< to a telescope as a hmm well equipped blond woman... :-)
And that after a long day at work and I have my eyes closed...
I keep telling the family that me being in the photo is why it sold so quick and people were just lining up :-)
Nice generator! And what's that on the floor under the generator?
