Make money off your clutter on Craigslist!
Looking for a way to de-clutter the basement/attic and make money at the same time? Why not hold an online garage sale? Careful planning and creativity can turn your mountain of junk into a fistful of cash.
First, while you don't need a garage to have a garage sale, you do need some stuff to sell. Take pictures of all the stuff you want to sell and advertise it on Craigslist.com
One man's trash may be another man's treasure, but don't try to sell actual trash, either. Make sure appliances and gadgets actually work, wash any clothing you intend to sell and make sure other items are clean and in good condition. Here's a list of popular sellers:
- appliances
- books
- costume jewelry
- sports equipment
- children's toys
- flatware
- baby equipment
- CDs, DVDs
- patio equipment
- garden tools
- kitchen utensils/gadgets
- clothing, especially children's
Now that you've decided just what you're going to sell, the following tips will help make your online "garage sale" a success:
- Take pictures of each and every item or items that you intend to "package".
- Don't overprice any of the items or they'll end up back in your garage, basement, or attic
- Be prepared to haggle with customers.
After seven days if you still have anything left over then reduce the price and repost on Craigslist.
Craigslist has clearly established itself as one of the leading online brands and the dominant presence in the US online classifieds market. Give it try!

Good idea. I sometimes say that one man's junk is another man's treasure.
