Want to make some money and declutter your life, too? Sell stuff you no longer want. When you’re post-holiday cleaning closets and storage spaces (so you can put the Christmas stuff back), take a hard look at stuff you keep but don’t use. Selling secondhand goods is big business, whether it’s on eBay, in yard sales or at a consignment shop, Places to sell items include Craigslist, eBay and Amazon on line. Also check out consignment stores and jewelry stores. Consider a yard sale and even friends. If you’re not sure whether the items you want to discard have any monetary value, spend some time on the Internet, checking eBay and other sites to see what people are asking for similar items. Most important, factor in the time it will take you to sell your stuff, whether it’s holding a yard sale or packing up items and standing in line at the post office. If you discover that your stuff isn’t worth the time it would take you to sell it, donate it a charity.For more details on all of these ideas, see the full story on our sister site, Living on the Cheap.
