For sale!

Ever heard the phrase, “one man’s garbage, another man’s treasure”?

If you have items you no longer have use for, consider selling them on a site like Ebay or Amazon. It’s a great way to put a few extra dollars in your pocket and your old items can become someone else’s newfound treasure. You can sell almost anything and you might be surprised what you get for it. Recently, I sold a slightly used Vera Bradley tote bag. Originally, I bought the bag, brand new for $48 and sold it on Ebay for $30. Not too bad! I started the bidding at $15 and in the last few hours of sale, there was a small bidding war and I was able to sell it for a nice price.

Whatever it is, you can probably sell it – someone out there will want it for one reason or another. So next time you do a ‘spring cleaning’ it might be wise to take a second look at your discard pile, is there anything you can sell?
