For expats living in Malaysia, selling and buying second hand or used items is crucial. As an expat living in Malaysia, you never know how long you will stay in this country before you have to move. When that happens, it can be a hassle to sell your home items. Garage sales are not exactly a common sight here in Malaysia, so the next best thing you can do is to visit an online expat portal to sell your items.

Expat Go Malaysia is a Malaysian website with content catered for expats in Malaysia. Expat Go Malaysia’s Marketplace is located on the forum section of the website. There are two categories for one to choose from; For Sale and Wanted.

For Sale

The For Sale section on Expat Go’s Marketplace is perfect for expat’s who are selling off their unwanted items. Lugging back furniture, electronics and a car to another country when you move is not fun. Some of the items one can find on the For Sale section are; used cars, kitchen appliances, furniture, second hand antiques, jewellery, club memberships, electronic appliances, concert tickets, houses or apartments, books, baby items and more.

New expats in Malaysia should definitely check out this section to help furnish new homes as most of the items on sale are in good condition and priced reasonably. This option is so much more practical than splurging on brand new items.

Wanted

The Wanted section on Expat Go’s Marketplace is perfect for those who are looking for specific items. If you can’t find what you are looking for under the For Sale section, then it is a good idea to post on the Wanted. Some of the common things users post up on the Wanted section include; housekeeping services, room rentals, baby items, club memberships, old items such as a video cassette recorder, specific antique furniture, special edition toys, car rental or used cars and even jobs.
