You know all the stuff that’s filling up your garage, attic, or shed? It’s the same stuff that you want to sell at a garage sale if you only had the time. Well, those unwanted items may be able to help you start reducing your debt today! How? By selling it all at online auctions like eBay.com. Although I have been recommending doing this for years, I’ve only recently started selling my unwanted household clutter online. It’s really not clutter it’s stuff I don’t want anymore that other people might need. Since I’m just getting started selling at online auctions I’m also going to start letting everyone know about how I’m doing it and how well it’s going. So far, it’s going VERY well! Everything I’ve put online has sold! I’ve sold an autographed Norman Mailer book that my father picked up at the library discard rack and a digital voice recorder. Total sales, $56.00 for two hours of work--that’s $23 per hour for creating more space in my garage! Pretty good deal! To make transactions simple, you can receive payment from your auctions through PayPal. They allow your buyers to use their credit cards to pay. Setting up an account with PayPal is FREE, however, there are modest transaction charges. I've already auctioned off a Sony Handycam Video 8mm CCD-F33, videocamera. How can you get started making extra money today? Look through your house for items you believe may be worth selling. Items that you can probably sell for $10 or more. Next, research the value of your item. Go to eBay.com and do a search for your item. Check the current items for sale and the completed items. Look at the prices that your item has sold for in the past so you can get an idea of its true sale value. Also, read what other people wrote about that item so you have a starting point for writing your advertising copy (fancy way of saying “sales pitch”). Keep a list of your items and read the next ONLINE AUCTION CORNER for more tips. |
