Do you have old electronics that you don’t use lying around your house? We took these all to Staples to be recycled and got cash back in our account towards future purchases. #JillRussoFoster #FinancialLiteracyMonth

Summer Clean Out
In these hot humid days of summer, what are you doing? We’re cleaning out (and making some money).
As you stay inside with the air conditioning, you could be doing something – cleaning out. We’ve been on a mission to lessen our stuff. So far, this summer we ahve sold items online, had a tag sale and make several donations. And there is more to go.
You can make money from almost anything, when you find the right buyers. Here are some examples of what I have personally done:
Sold an iPod Classic online. First I looked at an electronics trade in, but I didn’t think it was the most I could get. Sold it on Craig’s List.
Sold a woman’s Movado watch. First brought it to a company that buys items. They offered me $40, when I said that wasn’t enough for me to sell, they upped the offer to $50. I didn’t sell. I took it to my local watch repair shop and they offered me $123.
Donated seller items such as office / back to school supplies to a local non-profit. Donated older sheets / towels to the animal shelter.
Lots i=of items out of my house this summer, but still more to go. Here’s some tips on making money from items in your home.
What do you do to sell your unwanted items?
We are doing a big clean out of our home. We are selling lots of items. Our go to website is www.CraigsList.org and we have had some success. A friend suggested using Facebook Marketplace, so we tried this. Not so much luck here – a lot of interest, but no actual sales. What website / app have you used that works for you?
