This time of the year many of us
are attempting a spring cleaning of our homes. This is an opportunity to look
into those nooks and crannies-as scary as some of them may be. During this time
many of us are discovering that we have a lot of ‘stuff’ that we don’t use. Sure
you could put it out with the garbage and hope that someone takes it away, but
remember that one person’s trash is another’s treasure. Here are some ways to
make money from your unwanted things.
Garage sales/Sell online:
Spring and
summer are also prime garage sales times. Try to see when the garage sales are
set up in your neighborhood and attempt to sell some of your things that way.
Garage sales are ideal if you have a lot of things and individual posting on an
online sell website such as Kijiji would take forever. If you have a few good
quality items such as furniture etc., selling online might be a great option for
maximum exposure.
Send it away:
There are
some things such as CDs and DVD that in this MP3 era are harder to sell to
individuals. Try a service such as Music Magpie, in which you enter the
bar code into the site, get an instant price quote, and send it away for free,
and then receive a cheque for your items. Finally, ways to earn money back for
those DVDs you never watch
Check consignment shops:
Many of us have unwanted clothes that we never wear, or kids outgrow. Instead of
donating them, choose some higher quality, gently used or brand name items and
try to sell them to a consignment shop. That way you can earn a little bit of
money to go towards your child’s next growth spurt.
