Open a Dollar Store - Is Craigslist a Resource for Selling?

by Bob Hamilton

One of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs who open a dollar store or a discount store is inventory management. One of the inventory management nightmares is finding methods to quickly liquidate excess, slow selling and outdated items. One potential method for handling this headache is using Craigslist to sell off that inventory in volume quantities.
If you are about to open a dollar store it is worth your time to become familiar with Craigslist and how it works. You might even attempt to make a few purchases. That experience will be helpful when the time comes to actually use the resource to sell off merchandise.
There are several potential advantages to using Craigslist. First, sales can be made in your local area. That reduces transportation costs. It also means that you are dealing with prospective buyers in your time zone; there won't be any middle of the night telephone inquiries about the items you have for sale!

Craigslist is free of charge. Your advertisement does need to be approved before it is posted, however. The entire approval process is easy and actually takes very little time. Since time is so valuable when you open a dollar store, this is a great advantage.
Craigslist can be a great place to start your excess inventory selling efforts. This is especially true for discount and dollar plus stores where pricing is over a dollar. When you are faced with quickly liquidating inventory, consider Craigslist as one of the options. You just might very impressed with the results.
To Your Dollar Store Success!
