Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Mercari. Local pickup is preferred as these are heavy and the shipping cost might exceed the item's value for online buyers.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Tim Sale' and 'Modern Age' in your title. Take a close-up photo of the scratch to avoid returns. Clean the surface with a microfiber cloth before shooting to minimize dust visibility on the gloss finish.
