Challenge & Selection

The first tool I used for this was the Mind mapping tool to get a better idea of the “whats” (is, if,  works) of my plan to set up a small sale to sell a few of the items at home that I currently have no  use for. The mind mapping tool was the better option for me as it helped me realize what could or  could not be put up for sale i.e., what was good enough and what wasn’t. This was based off of what  I thought people would buy and not based on actual data since I wouldn’t be able to get that. It also  helped me decide on the price to set for the items.

Application

I first drew the map, separating the different “whats”.

What is- the items that I had with me but were of no use to me. I simply had to make a list of what  items from those I could sell/ could be sold.

What if-there isn’t really any what if to this challenge

What works- for this is had to set the price for each of the items. Obviously the price could be  changed later on but it had to start somewhere reasonable for both me and the buyer. Something  like a buy-one-get-one could work so I tried that with a few items.

Insight & Approach

In the end I was able to sell most of the items and got a fair amount from the sale. This helped me  realize the effectiveness of using the mind mapping tool for such challenges.
