Let's Clean Out Those Closets!

Let's Clean Out Those Closets!Would you like to put some extra cash in your pocket and clean out your closets at the same time? I'm going to tell you how that can be achieved without a stressful yard sale. First, go through your things and find out what you have that will fetch a sum. For example: anything with a tag on it that is new including shoes, nice office clothes, jeans and sweaters, children’s clothes that are clean without stains or tears, children’s shoes that are in like new condition.One of the ways to market your stuff is by a free site called www.craigslist.com. There is no fee for posting ads on their site. People in your area can read your description of your items and then pay you in person.

Please avoid scams such as someone in Nigeria wants to buy your old laptop but wants your paypal account or bank account number in order to wire you money. This is an identity theft scam. Most replies will be from local people that are interested in purchasing your items for reasonable amounts.Another way, which is my favorite, is Ebay. It does cost to post your item, usually a negligible amount, but it's worth it! Every time my little one grows out of a size of clothes I make sure to put them in a "lot" on Ebay up for auction. I sold all of her clothes that way and made enough in return to buy her new clothes for her next size. It helps to sell clothes for the upcoming season. In other words, don't try to sell summer clothes in the fall. Sell summer clothes at the end of spring. Also try to sell your clothes in lots. For example women's size 10 jeans, 5 pair lot. Or baby girl size 24 months -2T winter lot. You keep your costs down and get rid of your stuff faster.Getting rid of your stuff can be financially beneficial and can also help de-clutter your home.

God Bless You and Yours! Cassie
