What are the Options for Selling Jersey Barriers?

There are six main options for selling Jersey barriers: on a global trading platform, at auction, through an online materials seller, on a local listing site, through a broker, or on Eiffel Trading’s Online Marketplace. Here, we outline the pros and cons of each option to help you determine which choice is right for you.

Option 1: Sell your Jersey barriers on a global goods trading platform.

Global goods trading platforms typically serve a large market, which can lead to more interested buyers and a faster sale. However, global goods marketplaces often charge sellers a fee to list their products for sale, which cuts into profits. Additionally, most global goods marketplaces take days to push ads live, and many withhold benefits unless the seller pays extra for a membership through their platform. In addition, global goods marketplaces sell a myriad of products outside of construction materials, which means many legitimate contractors may not look to their sites for quality materials.

Pros: Serve a large market, which can make it easier to sell your barriers.

Cons: It may cost a fee to list your barriers on a global goods marketplace, and some sites can take days to push ads live.

Option 2: Sell your Jersey barriers to an online materials seller.

Online materials sellers cater to local operations and individual contractors. This can be useful when selling Jersey barriers, since many shoppers are looking to purchase barriers locally. When you work with a materials seller online, they’ll start by giving you a quote for your barriers. However, online sellers usually offer below market value for Jersey barriers since they’ll need to turn around and resell the barriers for a profit.

Pros: Often local, caters to individual sellers.

Cons: Materials sellers pay less than market value for Jersey barriers.

Option 3: List your Jersey barriers on a local listing website.

Many buyers aim to reduce freight costs for Jersey barriers by shopping local. Websites like Craigslist, eBay, Facebook Marketplace and Offer Up can connect you with contractors in your area who are looking for Jersey barriers. The downside is that you’ll be responsible for handling the sale start to finish, and there are no methods for dispute if the sale falls through or if there is an unexpected discrepancy between you and the buyer.

Pros: Listing sites connect sellers with local buyers.

Cons: You’ll be responsible for seeing the entire sale through and handling the associated risks.

Option 4: Sell your Jersey barriers at auction.

Auctions are an easy way to hand off your Jersey barriers, since auction houses handle all the logistics and manage the interactions between you and potential buyers.

The downside of selling your Jersey barriers at auction is that you don’t get to name your price or keep your selling rights, you’ll have to pay a selling fee, and you won’t have the benefit of selling your barriers to the most interested buyer who needs it for their project. Rather, your barriers will likely be sold to an auction attendee looking to get a good deal, who may later flip the barriers for a profit themselves. This could mean you earn less for your Jersey barriers.

Pros: Auction houses handle the logistics and manage the interactions between you and potential buyers.

Cons: You lose your selling right when you put your barriers up for auction and you could earn less money overall.

Option 5: Work with a broker to sell your Jersey barriers.

Brokers are a convenient way to sell Jersey barriers since they handle the logistics of the sale and provide a curated network of interested buyers. However, some brokers have smaller selling networks when compared to online platforms.

Pros: You can take advantage of a broker’s curated network.

Cons: Brokers tend to have smaller selling networks compared to larger online platforms.
