Sell Yours
You have walked around it since the winter, moved it to get the vacuum out, and meant to deal with it every single weekend. It was never the pram that stopped you. It was the photographs, and the description, and working out what it is worth, and the stranger who wants it for forty dollars at nine at night.
All of that is ours. What is left is the part you are the only person alive who can do — and the atelier sits down beside you to do it.
Where did it go most?
the Merri Creek path, most mornings
What did it get through?
two winters, and then her brother
What will you miss about it?
she fell asleep in it every single time
This pram walked the Merri Creek path most mornings for two years, and then walked all of it again for her brother. It came through two winters. The hood has faded on the left where the sun came in, the front wheel squeaks on a turn, and the bassinet has held two sleeping children through every one of those walks — she fell asleep in it every single time. It has one more child in it, easily.
Fourteen words from you. All of the years go with it.
What You Get
Listing costs you nothing, keeping a listing up costs you nothing, and a listing that waits a whole year for the right family costs you nothing. We take 10 per cent on the day it sells and that is the only money that changes hands between us. Where it never sells, it has cost you the evening you spent photographing it.
Every listing here starts at $20 — so the smaller pieces go on together, the way you would hand them over: the set, the pile, the whole shelf, at one price, with the years they had told once.
Point your camera at it where it stands and the words come back already written — what it is, where it belongs, and the condition as it honestly looks. Every line is yours to keep, change, or throw out entirely. Most parents change one word and press on.
A pram in a hallway is never only a pram, and the part nobody can write for you is the part a buyer actually reads. So you are asked a few questions only you can answer — the mornings it did, the walks it did, the winter your child refused to get out of it — and what comes back is the years themselves, going with it.
Nobody has to be a writer. You only have to remember.A buyer pays in full before they ever have your address, so the person knocking has already committed and the money is settled before they reach your step. You set the number and it is the number.
A listing carries a suburb and a cot. Your street reaches one parent, at the moment they pay, and reaches nobody else at all.
A cot is collected and a bundle of sleepsuits goes in the post. You say which when you list it, in one tap, and the zones, the rates and the weight classes stay entirely ours. Your money follows the same road either way.
What Reaches You
Name any price and this is what lands in your own account. The only money that ever moves is on the day it sells.
| You Ask | You Get | Before 25 Dec |
|---|---|---|
| $20 | $18 | $18.50 |
| $40 | $36 | $37 |
| $60 | $54 | $55.50 |
| $100 | $90 | $92.50 |
| $200 | $180 | $185 |
| $400 | $360 | $370 |
List five before 25 December and the third column is yours for two years.
What It Is For
Every child deserves the possibility of good quality rather than only whatever is left over. A pram that carried one child has years in it, and the family it reaches next gets those years instead of a landfill getting them.
Somewhere four suburbs from you there is a parent working out how to afford a pram this month. Yours is in the hallway.
