Many sellers struggle with deciding whether an item is worth the time, effort, and shipping risk required to list online. The most common mistake is assuming an item needs to be rare, old, or branded to justify a listing, when in reality demand, condition, category behavior, and “invisible value” often matter far more. Without a structured decision-making workflow, it becomes easy to waste time on low-value items, overlook profitable niches, or misinterpret the market by focusing on instinct instead of evidence. Understanding how to evaluate list-worthiness using observable traits and real-world comparables is essential for avoiding wasted effort and maximizing resale profits.
DJR Expert Guide Series, Vol. 910 gives you a complete, non-destructive, appraisal-based workflow for determining whether an item deserves an online listing. You’ll learn how professionals evaluate demand, condition thresholds, rarity, shipping feasibility, market saturation, comparable listings, and time-to-value before deciding whether to list, donate, or discard an item.
Inside this guide, you’ll learn how to:
Evaluate category demand using visual and market indicators
