How to make some extra cash for the holidays

The holidays are practically upon us and one of the things a lot of people struggle with is having extra money for gifts. You can put your craft skills to use and make gifts for family and friends. We’ve done that on occasion and have had really good feedback, plus it’s fun to do. For those who are not into making their own gifts here is a very simple way to get some much needed holiday cash.

In one word eBay. You can sell stuff on eBay and make some quick cash. The question is what do you sell. First thing you need to do is look around your house for things you no longer want or use. It can be anything, here is a quick list:

-books,
-Cds
-DVDs
-clothes
-tools
-small furniture

You can also ask family and friends if they want to sell stuff on eBay and you can charge a 15% to 20% commission.

The truth is you can sell just about anything on eBay. You know the old saying ” My junk can be someone else’s treasure”. Here are two example of what I have sold for quick cash.

I once sold a credit card machine, that I picked up for free, for $220.
I picked up a science-fiction book for $0.50 at a garage sale and sold in on eBay for $89.00

You just never know.

The process is simple and there a lots of online resources for you to learn how to sell on eBay. You can learn it all in one evening.

To get payments you’ll need a PayPal account and that too is easy to get and use.

So go ahead and rummage through your house and get busy you’ll never know just how much that old book will sell for.

Regards.
