(6/16) A survey for eBay says that there is around $3,100 worth of unused items inside an average home, which is mostly electronics and clothing. So, if you're planning to go through the clutter in your abode, make sure to separate the items that still have value. You can convert some unused items into cash, while others can be donated to charity. Below are some everyday household items you can quickly sell for a reasonable price to give you an idea.
Silverware: Can you remember the last time you used that old silverware you have? If you're no longer planning to bring them out, why not sell them? Selling those items is better than letting them sit inside the drawer until you forget they exist. But of course, think carefully if those are family heirlooms.
Electronics: If you have old or new electronics that you're no longer using, it's time to send them off to earn extra cash. Some of the electronics you can sell are stereo, cellphones, television, computers, etc. The price you can sell these items for depends on your device's condition. Remember to wipe all your data from any device you plan to sell to protect your info.
You can also sell old metal wires to a reputable recycling facility like Langley Recycling. It is one recycling facility that accepts various metal scraps and pays a reasonable price.
Clothes: Selling the clothes you don't use anymore is an excellent way to free up space in your closet. Aside from that, it can help you earn extra money. While decluttering your closet or wardrobe, try to segregate the clothes you want to sell into similar sizes, styles, seasons, or types. For example, group all jeans or dresses to sell them in a bundle.It is also worth mentioning if there's an item with a well-known brand. To help buyers find your product, mention the type of clothes you are selling, if it's branded, size, condition, and if it still has a label on them.
Books: If it's time to say goodbye to your old favorite books, why not sell them to those who will enjoy them too? Like CDs and DVDs, certain books are easier to sell than others. Usually, you can get an excellent price for non-fiction and textbooks. The reason is that some of these books are no longer available in bookstores or libraries.
Furniture: We all have that old patio chair made of aluminum with a lot of our childhood memories. While aluminum doesn't rust or corrode, its style might no longer fit your newly remodeled home. However, you can sell that old aluminum patio chair to a trusted facility like Langley Recycling for a fair price. Just remove any non-aluminum materials attached to it before bringing it to the facility.
Handbags: Like the clothes you don't use anymore, you can also sell those handbags stored far away in your wardrobe. Again, you can get a fair price if the item is in good condition and has a unique design.
Takeaway
Even the items you no longer find useful are still valuable to others. So, check your home for the things mentioned in the list to see if you can sell them for a reasonable price.
