Selling furniture or household items in Guyana is easier when a buyer can judge the size, condition and collection arrangements before messaging you. A useful ad shows the actual item, its measurements, asking price in GYD and general location. This guide helps you prepare those details for a free ADSGY listing without leaving buyers to guess what is included.
Describe exactly what you are selling
Name the item and state its material, colour, approximate age, brand, and condition. Include height, width, depth, or other useful dimensions. For a bed, give the mattress size; for a dining set, state the number of chairs; for shelving, explain whether it can be dismantled. Mention included cushions, hardware, manuals, or accessories.
For appliances, add the model, capacity, power requirements where known, and whether every function works. Explain repairs, missing parts, unusual sounds, cosmetic marks, or signs of wear. Add your town or general area so buyers can estimate collection time.
Photograph condition and scale
Clean the item and photograph it in daylight. Show the front, back, sides, surface, legs, drawers, labels, cables, and any damage. A wide photo shows the overall shape, while closer images show materials and condition. Do not hide stains, scratches, chips, rust, or other flaws.
Set a practical price
Consider the original quality, age, current condition, repair needs, and prices of similar local items. State your asking price in Guyana dollars (GYD), whether it is for one item or a complete set, and whether negotiation is possible. If delivery costs extra, say so.
Plan collection before the buyer arrives
- Confirm dimensions and the width of doors, stairs, and gates.
- Say whether disassembly or lifting help is available.
- Agree who will provide a vehicle, straps, blankets, or tools.
- Choose a safe time and avoid sharing unnecessary household information.
Agree on collection or delivery before the buyer travels. Explain whether delivery is included or costs extra, whether the item can be dismantled and who supplies lifting help and a suitable vehicle. Use a town or general area in the public ad; arrange an exact collection location directly when appropriate. ADSGY is a listing platform and does not guarantee transport or payment.
Inspect used items carefully
Buyers should check stability, hinges, drawers, upholstery, odours, signs of pests, water damage, and repair quality. Test appliances with the owner’s permission. Confirm that large pieces fit the intended room and can pass through entrances.
