Selling my stuff in Chiang Mai?

[thaibeachlovers]

I searched for second hand shop in C M but got nothing.

 

Is there a company that will buy my stuff in C M? I don't actually care what I get for it, I just want to get rid of it.

The alternative is to put a sledge hammer through it. Pity to destroy good tools and household appliances though.

 

Alternatively, can I donate it? Would a temple take donated goods?

Try online classified adds for the things you might get money for. Anything else just leave outside near the rubbish bins and it will magically disappear. If you watch you'll see the bins are scavenged maybe several times per day by needy people
The local orphanage may be interested in some freebies too.

There are a couple of Facebook groups for selling stuff. Anything at a reasonable price seems to go really quickly.

It's a pity that ThaiVisa local classifieds are not working these days.  That would be the place to dis-own your stuff.

Thanks for replies.

Don't have time for using classified ads.

Looks like I'll be leaving the stuff somewhere away from the house for the scavengers then.

I leave my stuff next to the bin room and just let the cleaning ladies take it. Everything from clothes to electronics. The last thing I want to do is deal with some cheap Charlie farang trying to haggle over 200 baht.

As above ST does, I put my stuff on top or near my garbage bins at my garden front door. Up to who comes first to pick it up...

Until today it never failed to "work"

Second Hand Chiang Mai is one of 3 FB groups....

Stuff seems to move quickly if priced respectively....

Put it outside with a price tag on it.

Bound to get nicked.

In Thailand it's kinda tough/slow to sell your 2nd hand items like commonly done at garage sales, on CraigsList, etc., like say in the U.S.   When the wife and I moved from the U.S to Thailand we sold the majority of my household goods (electronics, furniture, etc..etc...etc) by several garage sales, CraigsList, and For Sale cards on bulletin boards in our general area....and sold some items to neighbors who we talked with all the time.   Worked out very well.  

 

But I digress...this is Thailand.   I haven't tried to sell anything I've replaced since living in Thailand over 8 years now...I just give it to some in-law.  But when it comes time to replace my Toyota, I'll definitely be selling that....ain't going to be no freebie for any in-law.

Every time I've moved here in CM, I've given most of my stuff to the maid(s).

Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful.

It's even more pitiful that they can't provide any updates.....
