If you're like me, you probably have lots of clutter in your house. Stop and look around, and see if you can find some things you don't really need or want any more, and list them on Ebay. After they sale, you can take the extra money and use it to help pay off debt or put it in your savings account. For larger items, you can list those on Craigslist. You can also look for local "yard sale" pages on facebook. There are 2 or 3 in my area. People post pictures of things they want to get rid of and their price. Other people can comment and make arrangements to buy the item. I just did this last weekend. I listed a play yard on two of these facebook "yard sale" pages for $75 on Saturday, and sold it on Sunday. Not too bad! I listed about 10 different smaller items on Ebay, and I sold 6 or 7 of those. I also listed a push mower and clothes dryer on Craigslist, and haven't sold those yet, but you just never know what people are going to want to buy. Anyway, my point is that just by taking 2-3 hours of my time(and maybe my husband's too)on Saturday to list these items for sale, I was able to make roughly $150. I am sure there are plenty more items around my home that I need to get rid of, so maybe I will try again in a few weeks. This is an excellent way to make some extra money if you are trying to pay off debt or if you are saving for something in particular, like a vacation. I dídn't have to pay anything to list on Craigslist, the facebook "yard sale" pages, or auction style on Ebay, so there was no risk involved. Why not give it a try?
