Today I chatted with Jessica Miles from KSTP-TV about our current state of garage sales during social distancing and alternative ways to sell your stuff! Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the video!
A lot of us have extra time on our hands and once we clean out our basement, garage and attic have found donation centers are closed and city-wide garage sales canceled! And, with so many being out of work, it is a big benefit to make some extra money from the things in our homes we no longer need.
In the video segment, I discuss some Garage Sale Alternatives and other ways to get money for the things you’re ready to discard. Besides the more well-known methods of Facebook groups, Craigslist and Ebay, some of the places I mention are:
Decluttr
If you have any type of tech equipment like phones or tablets or media like CDs, Blu-ray discs or games, a super EASY way to sell them is with Decluttr. I have sold boxes of DVDs and CDs to Decluttr and I love how simple it is. You just scan the bar code on your item into their app, it tells you how much they’ll pay you for it and then you add it to a box.
Once you get a box filled, you print out a FREE mailing label and ship it off to them. Once they have verified the contents, you get your money. Love it! If you use my referral link you’ll get an extra $5 on your first sale!
Etsy
If you have handmade items you’re looking to sell, or if you have a stock of crafting supplies you’re looking to get rid off, Etsy is a great option. You’ll also reach a group of buyers that is specifically interested in crafts an handmade goods.
If you’re looking to sell clothing or shoes that are new or in good condition, use Poshmark! You sell directly to others and can shop as well. Use my code “thriftyjinxy” when you sign up for a free $10 credit.
