bedroom set low price image

I'm thinking about selling my furniture before I move. I have tons of stuff: queen bedroom set, trundle bed, desk, dinning room table, kitchen table, couches, coffee tables and end tables.

Selling furniture is really tricky, because you will have to ask much less than the furniture is worth, and then not even get the asking price.
Sometimes it is better to donate it to a non profit, then you will get a tax write off that might be even more than the cash you would get from selling it.
If you do want to sell it, give yourself plenty of time......it is hard to sell things in a rush.
I would suggest using Craigslist.org
Be sure to take pictures of all the things you are selling, then put them on a photo sharing site, then include a link to it in your craigslist add. Also include a couple of photos in the ad itself.
Next, be prepared to have your time wasted by non serious inquiries, people who stand you up (say they will come to buy the furniture, then don't), people who want to haggle you down to an unrealistically low price, and worst, people who have unrealistic expectations, like for you to ship it to their house.
Be very clear in your expectations: cash only, pick up only.
Also, don't be afraid to throw in a freebie or two.... for example, if someone buys your couch, throw in an end table or a lamp.
Selling furniture is hard, time consuming, and you might not sell all of it.
So keep your expectations realistic, give yourself plenty of time, and don't let yourself get screwed.

what should i charge to clean a home?
Gloria
I have been asked to clean several homes . The problem I run into is that people want to pay hourly . I have a set price per room $ 12.50 - $10 per room (I consider everything a room except stairs or hallways) the more frequency of cleaning and more rooms I clean the lower the price per room. how much should I be charging to clean a house including :
Kitchen
bathroom's
office
bedrooms
living room
entertainment room
Answer
dont do hourly..look at the house and then give a price..sometimes they'll ask for windows to be done and sometimes they want the oven done..negotiate beforehand
your base should be $100 and then more as they add things on..which they always do
** remember..people never consider your travel time and the amount of money you spend on chemicals and cleaning supplies.
