Regardless of what some people say, eBay can be really fun and its a great way to become debt free, if you are in financial difficulties. The bidding frenzy when your stomachs churning in the dying seconds of the auction whether you will win or not. Then there is the rush of actually winning your first item and waiting for it to drop through your letter box.
But, for me nothing can compare to getting the buzz out of making some money, getting those funds into your Paypal account and seeing the fruits of your labour. I even like the wrapping up of the parcels and the trip to my local Post Office, its all part of the eBay experience.
Onto five things most people could sell today, everybody’s different of course but here’s my five ideas, and I might even achieve four of them.
Old junk!
Everybody has junk in the loft, or kicking about their house, it could be anything from old teapots, to an old train set hidden in the attic space, or a pile of old engineering magazines. You should never underestimate the public’s want to buy other peoples tat. Don’t be embarrassed by your junk, embrace it, love it, and sell it! One man’s muck is another man’s brass.
Mobile phone!
Again, if I dug out a drawer or two, I could probably find at least one if not more, old mobile phone. You would be really surprised what people will buy and the price that you get on eBay will often out way most mobile phone recycling companies. However, seller beware, make sure that you clean it out first, you never know what contacts, pictures and messages of a dubious or naughty nature might be lurking in your phones memory.
CD, DVD, Blu-Ray and Books
This is a no brain-er section, if you don’t own at least one CD, DVD, Blu-ray or a Book kicking about that you can live without, what have you been doing for the past 10 years! Have you just been at home watching council television and smoking silk cut extra lights. There is a goldmine to be made with this section, desirable to a buyer and a massive opportunity to clear out that phase you went through when you were into death metal and wearing chainsaws around your neck.
Old Clothes:
I’m not going to expand on this section much, but as long as it’s clean there is a buyer out there for it somewhere. People go crazy for cookie, retro and unusual items of clothing, footwear, handbags and assorted man garments. So get rid of that leather trench coat (see above death metal reference)
The Husband, Wife or Spouse.
Hey its worth a try!
