In order to get extra money into the account, more and more Swedes choose to clean out their homes and put their things up for sale. This is clearly noticeable in Sweden’s largest circular market, where supply has risen sharply. As the year’s often poorest month now begins, Tradera has analyzed the second-hand market and compiled the hottest categories. Here are the things that it is the best time to sell on Tradera right now.
In one year, the range of used goods has increased by almost 25 percent at Tradera. In January 2022, there were 4,027,650 used things for sale on Tradera and today that number is 4,928,356. Every three seconds things change hands on Tradera and 1000 new auctions are posted every hour.
– I think that a tougher economic everyday life with rising electricity prices, mortgage rates and inflation means that many people are looking at their house and cleaning out the house to earn a little extra money. It is good for both the wallet and the planet that we give our things a longer life, says Sofia Hagelin, Tradera press manager.
Best sales position on Tradera right now
Anyone who is sitting on fishing equipment, doll cabinets, screwdrivers or pocket watches right now has a good chance of stretching the cash register during the poorest month of the year. Namely, these are some of the things where the seller’s market prevails at Tradera.
– We see that more expensive categories have increased in average price with us, for example exclusive watches, bags and cameras. There is still a great demand for these durable goods, but more people are reluctant to buy new because of the economic situation. Therefore, instead, the demand for these on the second-hand market is increasing and the prices are rising, says Sofia Hagelin.
Cameras and Nintendo pay well
Anyone who wants to make a little more money should invest in selling their laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Cameras and lenses also pay well. Even video games such as the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 5 are often the subject of a bidding war.
Many are also looking for vinyl players and vinyl records, especially hard rock records and music from the 50s and 60s. In interior design, it is mainly Skultuna brass, retro porcelain and antique lamps that are popular.
Pokemon, Barbie and fishing lures are popular
Barbiecore was one of the new words of the year in 2022 – and it is precisely Barbie dolls and Barbie clothes that many people are looking for at Tradera. Among children’s toys, there is also great demand for Lego, Pokémon cards and dollhouse furniture. Many people interested in fishing also hang out at Tradera, where fishing reels and fishing lures are often sold at really high prices.
– A good piece of advice is also to think seasonally when selling. Now in January it’s winter sports and we have sports holidays around the corner. Take the opportunity to sell winter shoes, the son’s outgrown overalls, ski clothes, ski goggles and cross-country skates. That’s what many people are looking for now, says Sofia Hagelin.
