This might seem like an obvious way to make a few pound but there are still lots of people with unwanted clothes, books, gifts or anything lying around their house. The lead up to Christmas is a big money maker for anyone with items to sell.
Everyone’s best friend when it comes to getting rid of junk is eBay. On-line auctions are a sure-fire way to turn that sleeveless jacket (which came in and out of fashion in a week) into hard cash.
If you want an idea of how much things could possibly sell for then you can do a 'completed listings' search on Ebay. All you have to do is go to the 'advanced' option to the right of the main search browser bar on ebay's site. Click the 'advance' button and it will bring you to a 'find items' page.
Type in the item you are looking for. Below this is a 'search including' option. Tick the box that says 'completed listings' and then click the search button. It will then give you a list of items sold or not sold (any items with the price in green have been sold).
Start looking around the home for items you no longer need and get listing.
Alternatively, for larger items that are more difficult to post out, you can offer collection only or advertise them in your local press or shop/post office windows.
You will be surprised at how much money you can actually make!
