Clean Them First
One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to purchase used AirPods is because they don’t like the idea of putting something dirty in their ears. This is why it’s so important to clean your AirPods before you sell them.
But, you need to make sure you clean them without damaging them. Here’s how to clean AirPods:
- Grab a cotton swab or Q-tip, lint-free cloth, toothbrush, and paper clip or toothpick
- Wipe your AirPods and AirPod case with a lint-free cloth
- Use a Q-tip to pick up any debris that is stuck on the inside of your case
- For tough residue that won’t dislodge with a Q-tip, take a paper clip or toothpick and carefully scoop out wax that’s stuck in the opening of the AirPods
- Clean the mesh of the headphone opening with a cotton swab or Q-tip
- Use a toothbrush to clean out any remaining debris
It’s important to keep in mind that you should never use water or water-based solutions when cleaning your AirPods. These devices are neither waterproof nor water-resistant, and exposing them to any kind of liquid can cause irreparable damage.
Create an Advertisement
Before you start posting about your AirPods online, you need to figure out what you’re going to say in your advertisements. As we mentioned earlier, AirPods are in-demand products, and they pretty much sell themselves.
However, there is some information you should include in your ads so consumers know exactly what they’re purchasing. You should include:
- The age of the AirPods
- Whether or not they’re under warranty
- Type of Airpods you’re selling (aka, which model) and what devices they’re compatible with
- Why you’re selling the AirPods
- How much you’re selling them for
These details will help consumers make an informed decision.
