Do you have a lot of “stuff” around the home? If so, then now could be the time for you to have a look through everything to see if you can make some money. If you do this, you will find that you not only have the chance to motivate yourself, but also make sure you aren’t throwing things away that could end up making a big difference to your financial situation.
Newspapers
Believe it or not, you can make money from old newspapers lying around. Especially if you have one that documents a particular event, or if you already know that you are in possession of a newspaper worth a lot of money, then throwing it away probably isn’t the best choice. If you can sell it, then you will find it not only easier to clear out, but also ensure that you aren’t throwing money down the drain.
Toys
Toys, believe it or not, can fetch a lot of money. Selling toys online, for example, makes it easier for you to clear out without having to do endless runs to the local recycling centre. This also means reducing your contribution to landfills, which is great.
Should you decide to sell toys online, just remember you will pay a fee on most auction sites, but this isn’t too much of a big deal. Not sure if your toys are worth anything? Do some market research in advance so you can figure out what’s worth keeping and what is not.
Old Phones
Old phones are important to sell because even if they don’t work, they can still be sold for parts, which can bring you a lot of money. Selling an old phone is a good thing to do, as it means you can clear out while making sure that someone else can make some money from your rubbish. Trade in phone websites offer you the chance to not only get rid of your phone, but also make sure you aren’t missing out on any opportunities to make money from it. Most of the time, you can send your phone in the post, which is a very convenient thing to do.
Power Tools
There is always someone who needs a power tool. If you have some you are getting rid of, you can list them on local selling sites. When you do, you will find it easier to make sure that you are not sending your rubbish to a landfill, and again, it means you can make some profit from your old junk. Even if your tools don’t work, you can still make a lot of money by selling them. Make sure to keep this in mind, as it will make a big difference to you, and you may also find that you can help someone finally complete that DIY project.
