Sell Your Stuff!

A great way to earn some extra pocket money is to sell that stuff you have laying around, that you just don't need. Try having a garage sale! It's a great way to get rid of stuff. Take your old books to a used bookstore that buys books - even a few dollars back in your pocket is better than nothing. :) Just finished school and don't need your text books anymore? There are lots of places to sell those, including several websites that will buy them from you - try a site like http://buyback.abebooks.ca - it's even free for you to ship your books to them. And try eBay if you haven't already! I LOVE eBay. It's like a huge, worldwide garage sale. Seriously, you can sell pretty much anything on there - it's been one of my most successful methods of making money. You tend to make quite a bit more on eBay than you would having a garage sale, so it's worth a shot. Chances are someone is looking for that set of teacups that's getting dusty in your attic, or your old button collection. Once you start to understand exactly what people buy and how much stuff is worth, you can take it a step further and start hunting for stuff to sell - second hand stores, garage sales - who knows what treasure you could find and resell for profit! One of my favourites was a tiny dolls I bought for 25 cents at a second hand store - that little doll sold for over $500 on eBay. How's that for a profit margin?? :)
