overwhelmed after decluttering? simplify the selling process with sella

You’ve decluttered your closet, your garage, your kitchen komono and you’ve found all this stuff to sell along the way. You don’t have the time or the energy to deal with selling these items yourself, but you know that it would create some calm and closure to the minimizing process to finally have it all gone, asap.

Selling your stuff has never been easier, with a new local service in Portland called Sella that does all the work for you to prepare, list and sell items online.

Simple, flat pricing + no commissions. It’s just $9.99 for standard sales, so you keep the whole profit. Plus, Sella cross-lists items on 5 marketplace, like eBay & Facebook, so you’ll get the best prices for your stuff.

All you have to do is schedule a pickup or drop-off with a local Sella rep. Drop-offs are free. Pickups are usually $10 in their standard service area, but friends of The Modern Minimalist can enter TMM while scheduling to get free pickup for their first batch of items.

Make sure that everything is ready to go prior to pickup. Include any cords, chargers and accessories with the items. Label any items that should be kept together, and package up fragile items for transit.

Items to be sold should be:

  • clean

  • in working order

  • not too big or heavy for one person to carry

  • likely to sell for $30+

  • labeled ( if needed)

  • clear of any electronic data

After pickup, Sella will take care of everything. You can relax + look forward to investing your money into your new found intentional life.

Sella takes care of:

  • listing photos

  • researching items

  • links

  • product details + pricing

  • crafting listings

  • presenting a selling plan for your approval

  • listing on sites like eBay

  • messaging with buyers

  • local meetups + shipping

Best of all, you’ll get the final say on pricing + description. Once you approve listings, the Sella team will post items for sale, monitor the listings and take care of everything for you.

Ideas for perfect Sella items:

  • phones + electronics

  • strollers + baby gear

  • small furniture + home decor

  • sports gear

  • collectibles

  • tools
