How to Sell Leftover Building Materials and Tools in Georgia | Unlim.ge

Leftover building materials and tools in Georgia sell well through classifieds: people doing small repairs, or hunting for one more box of the same tile, are happy to pay less than in a store. The key is to give the exact product name, article or batch number, quantity in square metres or pieces, and the state of the packaging. On Unlim.ge these listings go into Repair and Construction, and basic listings are free. Expats who renovated a bought flat often have tools they will never use again, and these sell quickly too.

What sells after a renovation

• Tiles and porcelain stoneware in full boxes, often bought to match an existing batch.
• Laminate, engineered wood, vinyl in closed packs or offcuts.
• Paint, primer, grout, adhesive unopened, with an expiry date.
• Wallpaper in full rolls from the same batch.
• Plumbing fixtures and doors, new or removed in good condition.
• Tools: hammer drill, angle grinder, tile cutter, laser level, ladder.

How to describe leftovers so people call

1. Name, brand, article number and colour. For tiles and wallpaper, include the batch or calibre: shades vary between batches.
2. Quantity: square metres, boxes, rolls, buckets.
3. Packaging: sealed or opened, how much is left.
4. Expiry date for mixes, adhesives and paint, and how they were stored.
5. Photos: label, a sample in daylight, the full quantity.

Selling tools

• State the model, power, purchase year and how much you used it.
• List the kit: case, bits, discs, batteries, charger.
• Film a short clip of it running.
• Clean off dust and mortar first.

Price and pickup

• Price guide: check store prices and similar listings on Unlim.ge. Leftovers usually sell at a discount, and a whole lot can go cheaper as one deal.
• Sell as a lot: "all remaining tiles, 6 boxes".
• Pickup: state the district, floor and whether there is a lift. Buyers need to know if they need a van and helpers.
• Deadline: if you are moving out, say "cheaper if collected this week".

Payment and safety

• Get paid at handover and check the transfer in your own banking app.
• Avoid deposit and refund schemes and never share SMS codes.
• Agree in advance who carries what if the buyer brings helpers.
• Add a Georgian or Russian line to your ad: most buyers of building materials are locals, and Unlim.ge works in Georgian, Russian and English.
