All my prior articles about decluttering, organizing, downsizing, and tossing…I usually don’t like to mess around selling household items or clothing. I had a couple garage sales years ago, and we decided it wasn’t worth all the work for the little money made. I’ve learned when you have kid stuff, it’s a lot easier having a successful garage sale. But I have tried a few other avenues in selling items. I am all about quick and easy.
We went to the Eagles concert last year. I finally snagged 2 tickets, and I opted to buy VIP tickets which were a little more money than regular tickets because someone bought them and jacked the price up. So rather than wining about it, we decided to sell the VIP swag we got on ebay. Pretty neat stuff, and we were able to make money back to bring the price of the tickets down. I am pretty sure we made someone else happy with the swag.
I used to be into Coach purses. I had a pile of purses I no longer used. Don’t get me wrong, I also have a pile of purses I am not ready to part with. Last month, I took them into Clothes Mentor and got money on the spot for them.
Something is better than nothing. I took the money and ran. Years ago, I used a couple different consignment shops, but you have to bring the clothing in and keep checking back if you sold anything to get your money. Granted, if you are willing to wait, you could potentially make more money.
Stay tuned for next month’s topic: Hosting holiday celebrations
There’s so much to do, so little time. Bye for now!
