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.
