Sell Your Stuff {Day 29}
This is the twenty-ninth post in my 31 Days of Living on Less Series. If you’d like to read all the posts in order, go to Day 1.

Now that you’ve decluttered your whole house, organized your closet, and simplified your wardrobe, you may have collected some items that you no longer need or want. And some of these items might be worth some money! We’ve done quite a bit of online selling through the years, and it can be a great way to add to your income. Here are some ideas for turning unused stuff into cash:
- Sell on Ebay. We’ve listed many things here through the years, and it’s been a great experience.
- Sell on Etsy. If you have handmade items, vintage items, or craft supplies, an Etsy shop may be a great idea.
- Sell homeschool items on Homeschool Classifieds. We buy books here and we also sell items we’re no longer using. It’s a great resource for homeschoolers.
- Have a garage sale. It depends on what you’ve got to sell, but sometimes you can make quite a bit with a garage sale.
- List your items on Craigslist.
It’s pretty exciting to declutter your house and make money at the same time! I’ve still got work to do on my house, but I hope to use some of these ideas in the near future.
glad to see the selling things idea worked out so well for someone! I have been selling a few things myself and plan/hope to find more to sell. in the interest of time most of my things have been going to a local consignment shop as it is primarily clothing that I have to sell. I probably make slightly less than I would selling myself online, but I am okay with it and it is still "Extra" money that I wouldn't have if I just donated everything.
I know what you mean about the time involved…I've donated most of our unneeded stuff, and only kept a small amount of things that I thought might sell. A local consignment shop is a great idea, too!
I've been de cluttering with you… I sold some things here and there on my homeschool FB support group. It was 10 dollars here 5 dollars there … Nothing huge but by the time I added up all the small dollar amounts it totaled over 100.00! I was shocked how small sales could add up! ( I also donated items in the spirit of The Lord has been so faithful and good to us)
Wow! $100 is great, Adrienne! I love how those small amounts add up. I really need to get on the ball and sell some things! 🙂
