Want to sell everything, been in thailand 14 years

[nonthaburial]

Maybe the OP needs to sell to get home. The lot of you could be a bit more helpful in your posts.

I am sorry but I was trying to be helpful. Admit the OP was not very forthcoming, but who wants to buy 14 year old second hand goods? Of course not all of his items are that age, but I, and have so many said on the forum, he will not get what he expects / wants. 2nd hand domestics are a buyers market not a sellers.

And if as you suggest (hopefully wrongly) that the OP needs to sell to repatriate himself, then life must have turned upside down. Welcome to Thailand!

I admit that reads harsh, but so are realities in life. Good luck to the OP

As suggested please try to supply more info on what you have then someone on TV may even take it all-and you should mention a starting price-basically list the more expensive items and lump everything into categories-appliances-furniture-etc.etc.Cheers.

It is getting quit stupid. May as well close the thread. I just wanted to know where is a good place to liquidate all of my stuff. It is mostly expensive things and high quality, some are antiques. Nevermind, I'll figure it out somewhere else...

[whiteman]

He has been very quite maybe you all scared him into reality and he just gave it to his or one of his partners he has had over the last 14 years

[Puyai]

Load it all up, take it down the local Sunday market, set up a stall, whack out a sign 'everything must go'. Maybe even get a Thai you can trust to do the selling. Might be worth a shot..

The stupid part is you did not answer any questions

There are potential buyers asking on this thread what you have but you declined to answer

I do know of one westerner, come to think of it, that a couple of years back set up in his front yard, and sold a good portion of it, all to locals. Thais won't generally buy used beds, but pots and pans and TVs and and antiques, sure.

EDIT: Just saw you are in BKK. Advertise here. If the items are in decent shape, you'll sell it all at fair prices. Suggest you post separate ads for the larger items, and turn away low-ballers. They'll usually come back the next day.

Surely just advertise here and baht sold website with the title everything must go ?

You are quite right I was definitely less than helpful and I apologise. I withdraw the Big Skip remark.

Well done Den; although I don't think a bit of genuine humour goes amiss in any thread - and yours was definitely funny. [ I ain't withdrawing my like]

I hope the OP gets what he wants - there's a lot of sound advice on the thread, despite the limited info provided

Never heard of a yard/garage sale in Thailand. Yours could be the first.

Does that include your ex wife/girlfriend?

Sorry didn't see your post. OK maybe not the first to have a yard sale

The stupid part is several members have stated they might be interested in your stuff and asked you to list a few things, but you are ignoring that!

If you are serious and not a troll post a few items.

My friend moved back to the USA several years ago. He had some good stuff. He posted his items for sale in the lobby and in the elevator of the condo he lived in and sold some things on Thai Visa. He was expecting top dollar but ended up taking what he could get.

Last option is thinking about shipping your items home. It's not as expensive as you might think if you ship break bulk with a freight forwarding company. It will take some time, can be 1-2 months depending on where you live but low cost.

Good Luck!

I agree..

the Original Post is acting arrogant and rude.

myself (and several others) have stated genuine interest in buying things. he has no idea what kind of money we have to buy things. Does the original poster believe he is above us in some way?

just coz we dont know any auction house in bangkok for you, we have suggested garage sales and several other things too.

if a few people want to make a few jokes here and there, thats a silly attitude to take it so seriously and turn your back on everyone that was trying to help you out.

I have posted loads of questions in forums here.. i often get wise-crack joke replies, along with a couple of good ones!

its a shame you didnt answer even ONE of the questions that we have all been asking you.

if anything,,, we are all frustrated at you for not telling us what you had to sell !!

pretty much a big tease! LOL!

good luck where ever life takes you.

When myself and family left LOS this April we had about 100k worth of furnishings ( cost 100k a year earlier )

40 inch Tv, Sound surround, beds, 2 sofas, kitchen and laundry stuff, PC, and a few other bits and bobs.

All mid range makes ( Samsung/Sony etc)

We asked around and we got 35k for the lot from a middle aged fruit seller.

She arrived on the day of our departure in a brand new 4x4

Not a great deal but more than I thought we'd get.

It definitely helps if you have a wife/partner who knows the locals

The 35k paid for our first meal back in UK.....

[aquadreams]

no, i to does not include any ex-girlfriend or girlfriend. She died in a car accident.

[wooloomooloo]

Sorry for your loss, now please list the items for sale.

[jacko45k]

When I sold up I got more for my empties that for the fixtures and fittings!

[Jasun]

Take photos of your big ticket items and list them individually across classified sites in both Thai and English: Thaivisa, Pramool, Sanook shopping, Bangkok Post, Craigslist etc. Put prices on everything else so when people come to look at your big stuff they can buy other things also. I sold off an entire apartment in a week doing it this way.

If the op purchased 'Thai gold' some 14 yrs ago, he can see the value of his 1 million baht multiply by at least 4 times by now!

Hi,

Collingbourne Auctions Pattaya.....

It would not cost much to get a truck load delivered from BKK, they may even do a pickup.

I sold a house contents via them a while ago, got a reasonable price....very close to estimate.

They have a website. Auctions every Saturday which includes cars and motorcycles as well as all the usual household goods.

Good Luck

[umbanda]

Things that here do not have so much value, may worth a lot in western countries, like antiques, paintings and carvings, even a very old bike.

If you thinks your value is a million, here and with much luck, you will get 10% of that and all the aggravations with bargaining....

Give ALL to a temple and get a blessing and a golden plastic Buddha chain for you remember your good action...

[The Usual Suspect]

You must have a " Walking Street " take your goods there and see what you can get but what you think is a fair price is not always what a buyer thinks. When I left the UK I held a number of garage sales total sales came to £700 the estimated cost of items was over £4,000 the rest I gave away to charities accept for items that were very personal . Good luck with your sale !!!!!!!!!!

I had the exact same experience when I left the US. Had some serious trade tools and other quality stuff. Didn't get squat. I farmed out the real personal stuff with a lot of emotional value to relatives for safe keeping.

[minikev]

put an ad on bahtsold. "going home selling all". you will sell everything in a day without moving anything.

[welsh1]

I think http://www.bahtsold.com/home is about the best website In Thailand for selling stuff.

You haven't got a chip pan fryer for sale have you?

[cbluck58]

One Million baht divided by 14 years divided by 365 days = less than TB200 a day

To put in realistic terms a couple of beers !

Walk away - forget it - I did when I left my condo in Penang

On the button papadragon - walk away man and save yourself the hassle.....

[shaurene]

For a start, where are you then some one could tell you.

[MikeENZ]

Use the desperately seeking bangkok promo facebook page...

[canman]

It would help people here, if you at least could say in which area you are looking for Auction places

Yes, there's an auction house just down the street.

near the 7/11

[KuhnPaen]

I am a collector of really bad art. Especially tacky (preferably velvet) nudes of Thai women in river bathing scenes. The kind you see in a ST hotel. Do you have any of those in your 1 million baht worth of stuff? I would be keen to aquire some.

I want to open a restaurant that serves nothing but soup and call it "Pol's Pot". Figured that these would make good decorations.

I would imagine your soup would be as tasteless as the choice of restaurant name.

Thai people will enjoy my soup as much, if not more, than Hitler Chicken.

My Idi Amin eggrolls are sublime btw.
