Sell goods through a local group chat

Why this matters

A local group chat is a free shopfront full of people who already trust each other. Selling there reaches real buyers without ads or fees.

What you need

A phone, photos of what you sell, and access to an active local group.

These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.

How to do it

Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.

  1. Take a clear photo of your item and write a short post with the price and how to buy.

  2. Post it in a relevant local group at a time when people are active and reading.

  3. Reply quickly and politely to questions, and arrange a safe place to exchange goods.

Your one thing today

Photograph one item today and draft a short post ready to share in a local group.
