So I never believed my wife (bad mistake) when she told me how much junk we have in our garage and sprawled across my office. She has also told me how badly she would like to replace our current carpet. There is a solution to all of this!
I’m going to sell some of our junk for 3 months – making approximately $200/month! You say this is impossible? I say you are lazy! I have already made $158.38 USD from selling crap that I don’t use that has been in my “electronics” box. You can sell some of your crap and make this much money too! Here is how you do it:
- Take all of your crap that you haven’t used in at least 1 month (minus seasonal items)
- Put all of that junk in one place that you like to spend a lot of time in. The point of this is because you will want to get rid of it quicker.
- Set yourself up with an ebay account and a paypal account. If you don’t have both of these already – You are fairly far behind for being in the technical age.
- Find or borrow a good camera to take good photos of your items. I like to use a white piece of paper to set the item on so everything looks clean. This dude is the KING of selling junk on ebay….
- List the item on ebay and let them do the calculation of how much the shipping will cost. Make the buyer pay shipping, this way you will always be covered.
- List as many items as you can on a Sunday. When listing, make it for 7 days. This gives your items 7 days to brew and you will have time to package them up Sunday night for shipping on Monday morning before work!
- The bad part up front is that you will have to wait a little while for you money. Paypal is very secure about this and when they say it’s okay to ship, you are good to ship.
- Start counting your dollars! Little items here and there can rack up to $200 VERY FAST. I have already sold 5 items in 4 days and I have made $158 already! This is stuff that has been sitting in a box for over a year!
This is actually very simple and if you aren’t doing it. You are either lazy or don’t have any junk to sell! If you need any examples of the type of things I sell, head on over to my ebay page. I will most likely have some piece of junk up for sale!
