Supplies 7

• Cleaning supplies

  Everything sells for more clean. A bucket of warm water, a cloth and an hour is worth more than any listing upgrade.

• Boxes and bags

  Sturdy boxes are the first thing you run out of and the last thing you think to buy. Small boxes get heavy fast; big boxes get impossible fast.

• Document and archive storage

  Paper that has to be kept needs to be dry, dark and findable. A cardboard box in a damp basement is none of those.

• Moving and lifting help

  The most common reason a sale falls through is that the buyer cannot move the thing. A trolley and a second pair of hands solve it.

• Photo and document scanning

  Scanning is how you keep the memory and lose the box. Do it before the albums are divided up, not after.

• Shredding and document disposal

  Anything with an account number, a signature or a date of birth on it should be shredded, not binned.

• Tape, markers and labels

  A box with no label is a box you open twice. Label the side, not the lid, so you can read it when the boxes are stacked.
