The short version
- One page with photos, price and contact buttons works better than retyping the same post everywhere.
- Good photos and a clear, honest description sell faster than a lower price.
- Share one link in texts, posts and groups, and a short code where links aren't allowed.
- No commission, no account needed to view, and it stays up until it sells.
On this page
You have something to sell: a couch, a table saw, a guitar, a set of golf clubs. You could post it in five places, rewrite the description each time and answer the same questions over and over. Or you can make one page with everything on it and share a single link.
Why one page works better
- Everything in one place. Every photo, the full description, the price and your contact buttons.
- One link to share. The same link works in texts, posts, email and group chats.
- Easy to update. Drop the price once and it changes everywhere.
- Works offline too. Print a flyer or sign with a QR code that opens the page.
- No middleman. No commission, and buyers contact you directly.
Photos that sell
Photos matter more than anything else you write. You don't need a fancy camera, just good light and a little care.
- Use daylight. Shoot near a window or outside in open shade. Turn off the flash.
- Clear the background. A plain wall or floor lets the item stand out.
- Show every side. Front, back, sides, and a close-up of labels, model numbers or serial plates.
- Show it working. A lamp lit up, a screen turned on, a tool plugged in.
- Show flaws honestly. A close-up of a scratch builds more trust than hiding it.
Write a description people trust
Keep it short and specific. Answer the questions a buyer would ask before they have to ask them.
- What it is: the make or model, size, age and color
- Condition, including any wear or damage
- Why you're selling, briefly
- What's included, such as accessories, manuals or original boxes
- Pickup details: where, when, and whether you can help load it
Price it to sell
Look up similar items listed near you and see what they're asking. Used items in good condition typically sell for a fraction of the new price, depending on age and demand. If you want it gone quickly, price it slightly below comparable listings. If you can wait, price at the top and lower it after a week.
Share it everywhere
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| Texts and group chats | Paste your link. The preview shows your photo, headline and price. |
| Social posts and community groups | A short post plus your link for full details. |
| Sites that don't allow links | Include your short code so people can look it up. |
| Bulletin boards | Print the flyer with tear-off QR tabs. |
| The item itself | Tape a QR code sign to it if it's somewhere people pass by. |
Your listing also goes up free on the List48 Board, where people nearby browse by category.
Meet safely and mark it sold
Meet in a public place for small items, or have someone with you for pickups at home. Accept cash or a payment you can verify before the item leaves. When it's sold, mark your listing sold with one click so the messages stop.
Common questions
Is there a fee when my item sells?
No. There is no listing fee and no commission. You keep the whole sale price.
What can I sell with a List48 page?
Almost anything that's legal to sell: furniture, tools, electronics, instruments, sporting goods, appliances, collectibles and more. See the posting rules for the few things that aren't allowed.
Do people need an account to see my page?
No. Anyone can open your link or scan your QR code and see the whole listing, with buttons to call, text or email you.
How do I share it where links aren't allowed?
Every listing gets a short code. People can type the code on List48 to open your listing.
