The Process
The sale is hosted at your home, but you don't need to be present during the event unless you choose to be. We take care of everything.
We assess and price all of your sale items strategically to maximize value and attract the right buyers.
Your merchandise is organized and staged professionally to create an appealing, easy-to-browse shopping environment.
We handle all marketing and advertising to drive traffic and bring the right buyers to your event.
Our team handles all customer interactions, sales, and event coordination throughout the entire event.
At the end of the sale, we handle teardown. Unsold items can be removed free of charge — your choice.
The earnings from the sale go directly to you, minus any applicable commission per your chosen service tier.
Transparent Pricing
Choose the arrangement that best suits your situation. Both tiers include our full suite of sale management services.
Reduced flat fee + 25% commission on total sales revenue
One-time flat fee · You keep 100% of all sales revenue
The Standard Commission tier is well-suited for clients who prefer a lower upfront commitment, with a 25% commission applied to the total proceeds of the sale. The Full-Service tier is ideal for clients who anticipate a high-volume sale and wish to maximize their take-home earnings with a single flat fee and no commission.
At the conclusion of the event, you decide what happens next. Keep any remaining items you wish to retain, or have us remove the remaining inventory completely free of charge.
Many clients view this service as a garage, basement, attic, or collection cleanout — with the added benefit of potentially making money in the process. Even if your primary goal is reclaiming your space, the sale gives your items an opportunity to generate income before they're removed.
The Person Behind the Sale
My name is Dorian Bailey, and I’m the founder of Better Selling With Bailey.
As a lifelong resident of North East, Pennsylvania, I’ve always believed in the value of community, hard work, and treating people fairly. I graduated from North East High School and am currently studying Marketing and Management Information Systems at Penn State Behrend.
Long before Better Selling With Bailey existed, I spent years buying, selling, researching, and pricing items of all kinds. What began as a personal interest eventually grew into a passion for helping others navigate the selling process and get the most value from the items they no longer need.
When I created Better Selling With Bailey, I wanted to build a business that felt personal. In an industry where clients are often passed between different employees, I wanted to offer something different: a direct, one-on-one experience from start to finish.
When you work with Better Selling With Bailey, you’ll work directly with me. From our initial consultation to the final day of the sale, I am personally involved in the planning, pricing, promotion, and execution of every event. Some clients prefer to collaborate on pricing and be involved in the decision-making process, while others would rather leave those details in my hands. Either approach is welcome. My goal is to create a process that fits your comfort level and goals.
I believe communication and transparency are essential. Selling personal belongings can be an emotional and sometimes overwhelming process. Whether you’re downsizing, settling an estate, helping a family member, or simply clearing out years of accumulated items, you deserve clear communication, honest guidance, and a partner you can trust.
At its core, Better Selling With Bailey is about helping people. It’s about creating successful sales, building relationships, and making what can feel like a daunting process as simple and stress-free as possible.
Whether you’re downsizing, settling an estate, or simply ready to clear some space, I’m committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Peace of Mind
Outdoor sales are subject to weather conditions. Here is what you need to know.
If severe weather is expected and a sale must be canceled before the event begins, clients will receive a 90% refund of any fees paid, or may choose to apply those funds toward a future sale date.
The remaining 10% is non-refundable and covers the time, planning, preparation, scheduling, advertising, and administrative work completed leading up to the event.
Whenever possible, Better Selling with Bailey will work with clients to reschedule the sale for a future available date rather than canceling outright.
Weather-related decisions are made with the safety of customers, staff, merchandise, and property in mind. All weather-related cancellation decisions are made at the sole discretion of Better Selling with Bailey.
Severe weather may include sustained heavy rainfall, a high likelihood of rain throughout the majority of sale hours, severe thunderstorms, lightning, flooding concerns, high winds, weather advisories or warnings, or other conditions that would significantly impact attendance, safety, or the ability to conduct the sale effectively.
