Giving up can include dropping the price, offering for free or donating to charity

I am impatient- are there hints and tips to help you sell

Err.. things on marketplace normally sell very quickly. If they aren’t then your valuations are unrealistic.

I left a child’s bike on for 6 months before it sold, only you know if you need rid. I must admit I normally put things on reuse as it get shot quickly.

I've been finding Marketplace much less active, since Vinted has really taken off. Recently, some things sold quickly on marketplace, some didn't. Re-listed on Vinted and sold within seconds/minutes, so doubt it was the pricing. Are the items small enough to list on Vinted?

Ive not really done vinted

Some of them are unusual so I am wondering about eBay (vintage sewing machine - so collection only)

But even some free stuff hasn't gone - I wonder if I'm in the wrong groups

You can boost it after a week or so.

I thought boosting cost money but it doesn't

So I have deleted and reposted with new pics for a couple of bits, I have boosted a couple and I think I see a car boot in my future!
