3 Ways to Make Money Off of Things You Don’t Want

Most of us have already been hit with the Spring Cleaningbug, but did you know that you can actually make money off of that cleaning spree?

This year put a little cash in your pocket by selling some of those unwanted items.

Here are 3 ways you can sell your unwanted things today:

1. Garage Sale – Garage sales are not a thing of the past. They are an easy way to sell your good when you have more than a few items to get rid of. If you only have an item or two try selling or consigning your items at a flea market, pawn store, consignment center, etc.

2. Local Online Sales Platforms – Facebook Marketplace is a great option for your unwanted goods. You can either select local only for in-person meetups or they now offer a ship it to me option that allows you to sell to anyone across the country. LetGo and 5Miles are also great options. Larger items must be sold locally on those platforms.

3. Online Marketplaces – Online marketplaces are great because they allow you to sell your goods to more than just your local market. Try platforms like Ebay, Poshmark, Amazon, Etsy, eBid, iOffer, Listia, Mercari and Varagesale. There are also marketplaces out there for specific types of products like NearlyNewlyWed, RubyLane, ThreadUp, Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry and more. Its important to do a little research around which platform works best for you.
