Turn Clutter Into Cash?

Is is possible to turn clutter into cash without leaving your home? I sure hope so, because I need to get rid of some stuff and a little extra cash flow would be amazing!

There are a lot of websites that  broker or promote for you. Of course this means that they will take a percentage, but heck, if it's sitting there not making any money, it's certainly not doing you any good!

For clothing, you can try websites such as thredup.com. After you register with them, they send you a bag to fill, you send them your clothes and they send you $$. Here is their website descriptioin:

"thredUP is the easiest way to save on great clothing brands and hand down clothing your family no longer wears for cash. We're like a consignment boutique - but simpler. On thredUP you can refresh your family's entire wardrobe online, without ever leaving your house.
Here's how it works:
SHOP: Browse thousands of like-new clothing items, which we've hand-selected and certified for quality. You'll find all your favorite brands discounted up to 80% off year-round. Shop »
CLEAN OUT: When your family has clothing they no longer wear (kids, juniors and women's), simply fill up a thredUP bag and put it on your doorstep. thredUP covers the shipping, and pays you for every item we can hand down to other families."
Other clothing sites are, threadflip.com, copius.com, poshmark.com and etsy.com.
If you are trying to sell furniture items, check out Charish.com. It is a virtual showroom for your used furniture. Once is sells, they send shippers to your door to take it away! It is also a great place to look for just the right thing you've always wanted!

If Musical Instruments are cluttering your home, check out usedinstrumentbuyer.com. Perhaps Johnny's tuba lessons didn't work out, so now you have somewhere to try and sell that!

Even cell phones can bring in extra cash. Look for an ecoATM. It's a kiosk that actually gives you cash on the spot for your cell phones.

Good luck selling your treasures!

Ta ta for now...save money!
