subject: Is There A Market For Used Storage and Garden Sheds? [print this page] The answer is yes, but how do you go about selling your used utility, garden or storage sheds? Who's going to buy a used garden shed, and how do you decide what to charge when listing your used storage shed for sale? Follow along, and I'll show you how to sell your used shed, what type of person is most likely to buy your used shed, and how much you can make selling your old used shed.
Check these statistics out, if you want to know who's most likely to want your old used shed .The consumer most likely to buy a used utility shed is a white male, between the ages of 41 and 58, he makes $56,000 plus per year, and most of his children are out of the house.

Now that you know who the most likely buyer is going to be for any old sheds you may have lying around, you can use that information to think of places to sell your used shed. Anywhere old guys hang out should do, as well as any types of advertising guys over 40 like to read.
The first place I'd advertise would be any type of free newspaper or advertising flyers that have a home and garden section, or have a section on sporting goods. We've all seen the guys down at the local coffee shop, or favorite breakfast spot, drinking coffee and reading the local weekly or daily paper. These types of newspaper ads are going to be the best way to sell your used shed.
Another way to sell your used shed would be to list it on Craig's List. Craig's List has sections for every statelhas classified ads for every state, some metro areas, and local regions, if you don't fall into a metro area. By listing your used garden shed on Craig's List, in the Home and Garden section, you should be able to get your shed in front of people that are local, and are looking for what you have to offer.
The last thing is, what do you charge for your old shed? The rule of thumb is half what you bought it for, but it varies depending on the age of the shed, type and condition of your shed. This is especially true when talking about wooden garden type used sheds. Wooden sheds weigh a ton, literally, and they are really hard to move, especially if they are old and falling apart. If you have a wooden shed that you want to sell, make sure that you make the price low enough to peak someone's interest, or you won't be able to sell it.
