Percentage – Once you know of a people you can sell for, decide how much you’re going to take when they sell an item.  I would recommend doing a percentage of the sale.  For example, tell everyone you’re willing to sell if you can get 10% or 15% of each item you sell.

Sell – Now, put their items up for sale and get ready to sell them.  The best way to sell items is by ending the auction for Sunday and by taking a lot of pictures.  Pictures are the best way to sell items for people.
