* Use good images to ensure your items really stand out
* Share an description of each item you are selling including details of its condition
* Add a price for your listing
* If you have multiple items to sell, group these into a single post and itemise the unique items you have for sale with their sale price.
* Once an item has sold, remember to mark it as SOLD (just click on the three little dots under your post)
* Consider listing an unsold item in the Free Stuff category if you're keen to see it moved along.
* Once a neighbourly has confirmed they'd like to purchase your item, share details using your Neighbourly Inbox

There are many dog exercise areas available around our District.
Check for places your pet can be taken unleashed, on a leash or not at all.
And please remember to be courteous to others - clean up after your pooch and make sure they aren't a nuisance to others enjoying our district.
