Tips for de-cluttering your home to make the biggest
profit
De-clutter your home...de-clutter your
life!
Before you start - remember that your
home is a reflection of yourself. Ask yourself what kind
of life you want to live and then look at the things you
own. Do your possessions, the items you’ve filled your
home with, enhance that life or stand in the way of the
life you want? If items don’t contribute to your life and
well being, consider getting rid of them. Also, look
around your home and identify the items that you have not
used for 12 months or more. Ask yourself if you really
still need to hold onto these things.
It’s not just about "Spring" cleaning
anymore
|
|
Household de-cluttering is not just tied to the spring
season anymore as there are a variety of options
available when taking inventory of extra goods.
Consider organizing your household items according to
categories – accessories, clothing, household
electronics, sporting goods, seasonal items, books
–and determine if there is likely to be greater demand
for these items at particular times of the year (e.g.
golf clubs, known to sell well on eBay year round due
to its global audience, may sell better in spring and
summer months in your local area). |
Consider dedicating a bin or shelf in your garage
or basement to store seasonal items in your home.
Regularly visit this area to determine what you can get
rid of when.

Benefits of selling your items on our eBay
store
We handle all aspects of selling on eBay
for other people. We offer a simple, cost effective and
immediate alternative to selling items yourself. We offer
drop off locations or pick up services. For a share of the
sales price as our fee, we can take your inventory of
goods and manage the entire process, including
photography, description and payment collection. Household
items that sell particularly well through eBay include
personal electronics, sports equipment, musical
instruments, designer clothing and accessories and
collectibles/memorabilia. These items have proven to
consistently sell for higher prices on eBay, as it’s a
worldwide marketplace that offers greater demand and
exposure for goods.
Why and when garage sales work best
The age-old tradition of holding garage
or yard sales is still practical for ridding your home of
lower-priced items including books, CDs, gently used
clothing and toys. The secret to a successful yard sale is
to plan well, have an interesting mix of items and –
perhaps most important – have reasonable expectations for
the prices you are likely to get for your items. Remember
that people are looking for bargains and don’t expect to
spend a lot of money to find them, so a yard sale may not
be the best place to sell grandma’s crystal. If you have
large ticket items consider setting a reserve...if that
price is not met, try selling them at a consignment store
or through an online auction site.
Whatever doesn’t sell, consider
donating to charity immediately
Whether you sell your items through a
yard sale or an eBay Trading Assistant, pre-arrange with a
local charity to pick up any unsold items or immediately
take them to a local charity yourself....do not let them
back into the house!
Enjoy the proceeds
Decide before you sell your unused
household items how you’d like to use the proceeds.
Consider a family dinner or outing, replacing a much
needed appliance, getting a massage or even donating the
money to your favorite charity.
Garage Sale Versus Listing Them On
Our EBay Store
Below is just an
example of how we can make more money for you!
|
Typical Garage Sale Family
Mother, Father and two kids
Prep time:
Nearly three weeks, including 10 hours on the Saturday of
the garage sale
What they
expected to earn:
$400
Total money
earned after expenses:
$395
Marketing
costs (signs, pricing stickers, ads, babysitter):
$159
Item that
sold for the highest price:
Baby jogging stroller ($60)
Item that
sold for the lowest price:
Plastic child’s toy ($ .99)
What didn’t
sell:
High chair, baby carrier, telephone, toaster, bar stools,
computer monitor and printer, hand blender and wheelchair
ramp
In their
own words:
"Having a garage sale on a Saturday is a big
inconvenience. I’m a runner and do long runs on Saturdays.
I have three little kids who have soccer and have various
activities so it’s hard to fit it all in. I had no idea
how long it would take to put the garage sale together –
it’s been over three weeks and at least ten hours today.
It’s an enormous amount of work organizing and getting
everything together."
Insider
tips:
Collect items into one place. Gather all those items you
haven’t used for as long as you can remember into one
central location. Set a date. Make sure your sale date
doesn’t coincide with another important local event.
Whatever doesn’t sell – straight to charity. Do not let
unsold items back into the house! Enjoy the proceeds.
Decide before the sale how you’d like to use the proceeds.
Have fun and enjoy the day. Remember – a yard sale is not
only a good way to get rid of your unused household items,
it’s also a way to meet new people! Smile a lot. Laugh.
Don’t take it all too seriously. After all – it’s only
clutter! |

In their
own words:
"I’ve had garage sales in the past and I spent really a
considerable amount of time organizing, advertising,
getting things set up and this time it was so easy. This
time around, all I did was turn everything over to the
eBay Trading Assistant. They came, picked everything up
and took care of it from there. It’s been wonderful...very
simple!"
Insider tips:
Determine if your items are a fit for an eBay store. If
you have spent considerable money on the items you are
selling, consider using us to help you get the best price
you can online, rather than getting pennies on the dollar
through a yard sale.
Set reasonable
expectations. We can give you great insights into what
will and will not sell. Items that sell particularly
well are personal electronics, designer clothing,
musical instruments, sports equipment and
collectibles. |
