## The reliable best sellers
1. Tools — sell fast at almost any price
2. Baby and kids gear (check recall lists; never sell expired car seats)
3. Furniture in decent condition
4. Kitchen items and small appliances
5. Bikes and outdoor gear
6. Working electronics with cords included
## Slow movers
Adult clothing (except name brands), old media like CDs and DVDs, stuffed animals, and exercise equipment. Price these to move or donate them.
## Merchandising matters
Put furniture, tools, and bikes near the street as bait. Group like items together, keep tables uncrowded, and plug in a power strip so buyers can test electronics.
