Selling Your Belongings Before Leaving Tbilisi: A Practical Plan | Unlim.ge

The fastest way to sell your belongings before leaving Tbilisi is to start early, list everything in one place and price slightly below similar listings. A general classifieds site works best for this: on Unlim.ge you can list furniture, appliances and clothes from one account, basic listings are free, and Furniture and Electronics and Appliances are among the most viewed categories. You can post in English and add a Georgian version to reach local buyers.

Sort everything into four piles

• Taking with me. Documents, valuables, things that are expensive or hard to replace where you are going.
• Selling. Furniture, appliances, bikes, sports gear, kids' things, clothes in good condition.
• Giving away. Items that would take longer to sell than they are worth.
• Throwing out. Anything broken or worn out.

Photograph everything you are selling in one session, in daylight, so your listings look consistent.

What to sell first and what to keep until the end

• Right away: things you can live without, such as a second TV, books, off-season clothes, sports gear, decor.
• In the middle: large furniture and appliances that need to be collected. These take more messages and coordination.
• Last: bed, fridge, washing machine, router. Sell them in advance with pick-up on your last day.

If you rent, check with your landlord which furniture belongs to the flat before you list anything.

Pricing for a quick sale

• Look at listings for similar items and note the prices.
• If time is short, go a little below average. A quick sale beats leaving things behind in an empty flat.
• Say in the listing that you are moving and give the date by which the item must be collected. It explains the price and nudges buyers to decide.
• Offer sets both together and separately: one buyer may take the whole kitchen, another only wants the table.
• State the currency. Prices are usually in lari (GEL).

Listings that get found

• One account for everything. On Unlim.ge furniture, electronics, clothes and kids' items all go on one profile, so buyers can see everything you are selling.
• Titles like search queries: what it is, brand, size or model. "IKEA 3-seat sofa bed" gets found faster than "Sofa for sale".
• Dimensions and condition for furniture and appliances.
• District and pick-up details: floor, lift, whether a van is needed.
• Two languages. Unlim.ge works in English, Georgian and Russian. Many buyers search in Georgian, so a short Georgian line, even from a translation app checked by a local friend, widens your audience.

Staying safe when you are in a hurry

• Do not hand anything over before you are paid, and say no to "I'll transfer later".
• For bank transfers, wait until the money is in your account: a screenshot is not proof.
• Do not click "payment links" sent by strangers.
• Confirm pick-up dates in writing.
• If a user seems suspicious, report them directly on the platform.

Frequently asked questions

How early should I start selling before I move?

As early as you can, so you do not have to slash prices in the last days. List what you do not need now straight away, and sell essentials with pick-up on your moving day.

Is it free to list items on Unlim.ge?

Yes, basic listings are free. You only pay if you want to promote a listing. You need to register to post.

Can I post in English only?

Yes, but adding a Georgian version helps you reach local buyers. The platform works in English, Georgian and Russian.

Should I list all my furniture in one ad?

Better to create a separate listing for each large item plus one for the whole set, so you are found by people searching for specific things.
