How to post your link in a neighborhood group

Updated October 30, 2026

The best buyers for a used couch often live a few streets away. Neighborhood groups, building chats, school parent groups and local buy-and-sell groups are full of them. A good post in the right group can sell something in a day.

1. Read the group’s rules first

Many groups have rules about selling: which days you can post, whether links are allowed, whether you must include a price, how often you can bump a post. Follow them. A post that gets removed sells nothing, and the people who run the group will remember you. If the group wants a price in the post, a starting price works.

2. Write a post people actually read

Lead with what it is: “Oak dining table, seats six.”
Add the facts buyers ask about: size, condition and any flaws.
Say where pickup is, using a nearby intersection, not your address.
Add a clear photo. See How to take photos that sell your stuff.
End with one simple step: “Tap the link to make an offer.”

For example: “Oak dining table, seats six. Small scratch on one leaf, shown in the photos. Pickup near Main and 4th. Tap the link to make an offer.”

3. Post once, then let it work

Posting the same thing over and over annoys people and can break group rules. Post once, and if the group allows it, bump it once after a few days.

4. Keep personal details private

Answer questions briefly, and don’t share your home address, phone number or schedule in the comments. Settle those details privately once a buyer is set. For more, see How to meet a buyer safely for a local pickup.

5. Update the post when it’s gone

Once it’s sold, edit or remove your post so people stop asking. It’s a small courtesy that groups appreciate.

How Soldu helps

Instead of dozens of comments and messages, you paste one Soldu link under your post. Many chat apps show a preview with the item’s name and photo. Buyers tap it, open it in a browser and make an offer, with no app and no account. Each offer has to beat the highest one so far, and buyers see the highest offer but never who made it, so your neighbors’ names stay private. You see the three highest offers and say yes to the one you like.

Quick checklist

Read the group’s selling rules.
Lead with what it is, then size, condition and flaws.
Use a nearby intersection, not your address.
Add one clear photo and your link.
Post once, and update the post when it’s sold.
