Ways of selling things of lowish value

HI Lingpupa Have you tried the Grapevine magazine - it seems to circulate in the Lucca area and is aimed at ex.pats. Might not be your cup of tea but they do have classfiied ads in the back. I am pretty sure they are on line. Also there is the secondhand shop Mercato Usato on the outskirts of Lucca. Tinker knows about it! Again, not sure how it works but worth a try. We wouldn't mind a list of what you need to dispose of as we are about to furnish our house near Bagni. Good luck and enjoy the sun. Fabbriche

Well Lingpupa, if the promised arrival of a 'Items For Sale' section ever materialises from those slackers at Admin. then you will be able to advertise them on this site. The section has been promised for months now but obviously the beaches in Sicily have more attraction than setting up a new Section/Group. As they say'Domani Domani'......never comes.

Try: www.subito.it

Thanks for the tips, especially the one about subito - I didn't know anything about it. A couple of quick samples suggest that it has a little more on offer at the moment than ebay. Fabbriche, until the container arrives and we arrange things, it's hard to say exactly what is surplus, though there is a likelihood that beds, washing machines, fridges, sofas and chairs will be involved, as well as smaller things. At the moment I only know of the two surplus TVs that we already have here. The ship is expected in Livorno on Wednesday, then there is customs clearance followed by road transfer before we face the mound of "stuff" and make decisions, so I imagine it will be 3 or 4 weeks yet before we really will want to shift stuff. Thanks again Alex

In England there is something called freecycle which is like ebay but for giving things away - we've used it to get rid off all sorts of things. Not sure if there is something like it in Italy

From your tags I see you're in the Lunigiana. We have an ex-pat networking site here: www.ourlunigiana.com. Sign up with them and you can send round robin e-mails to the local ex-pat community.

Thanks for that, but the site does seem to have been sleeping for the last year. Or am I mistaken?

The site itself doesn't get used much but the networking group is very much active. Do register with them.

Is it active? Hi Heiko, Thanks again. I had already registered. I still don't see any activity from the last year or more, and I don't see anything explicitly called "networking". Am I looking in the wrong place?
