1. Price it right
Search for similar items on Lemown to see what comparable pieces are selling for in Dublin right now. A second-hand item is usually worth 30–60% of its new retail price, depending on age and condition. Be honest — overpricing is the #1 reason listings don't sell.
2. Take great photos
Shoot in natural daylight (near a window, in the morning). Take 5–8 photos: a wide shot, a few close-ups, any blemishes, and one with something for scale. Clean the item first — it sounds obvious but it doubles your chances of selling fast.
3. Write a clear description
Include dimensions (width × depth × height), material, brand if known, age, and any flaws. Mention pickup details — is there a lift, will the buyer need a van, is help available? Buyers love when sellers anticipate questions.
4. Set a Dublin-friendly location
On Lemown, your area shows publicly but your exact address stays private until you choose to share it in chat. Stick to a recognisable neighbourhood (Rathmines, Drumcondra, Clondalkin) so buyers can judge the distance at a glance.
5. Arrange safe pickup
For larger items, agree a daytime slot and meet the buyer at the door. Have help on hand for heavy furniture. Get paid in cash on collection — Lemown doesn't process payments, so the money flows directly between you and the buyer.
