We’ve all seen the thousands of banner ads and spam mails that promise to help you make a fortune off of Ebay. The reality is very few of us have the time or inclination to scour garage sales and yard sales to scrounge up enough stuff to make a living from Ebay or Craig’s LIst. But, Ebay and CL are great tools when you need extra cash.
Here’s a quick way to get some cash in your hands now: Think Small! That’s right, we suggest that you find just 3 things to sell today. All of us have at least 3 things that we no longer use or need that can be sold on Ebay or Craig’s List today. Just look around your house and you’ll be amazed at what it just sitting there waiting to be sold. Here’s some suggestions:
Appliances You Don’t Use or Have Duplicates of (i.e. blenders, waffle makers, toaster ovens)
Partially Used Gift Cards (see our previous post on this)
Stereo Equipment that you no longer use
Household Items (lamps, fans, window A/C units)
Lawncare Items (mowers, weed eaters, garden tools)
Childcare Equipment (Strollers, Car Seats, Baby Clothes)
You get the drift! Remember, with Ebay and CL you’re selling locally and internationally so there’s a market for almost everything–even if you don’t think it has much value. Rather than just letting stuff you don’t care about or need collect dust–sell it today get some extra cash.
I’ll keep digging if you keep reading!
