Selling Stuff
There are many ways to sell things.
Ebay
The most obvious way is on www.ebay.com
The trick with selling anything is to try and find what it is that other people want to buy.
Don't just sell what you have and think that everybody will want it,
you have to find your audience.
Garage Sales
Garage sales are great for selling random things,
like old books, toys, furniture, clothes, antiques; there are people who go from garage sale to garage sale looking for great bargains.
If you have a good number of items,
put an ad in the local classified papers for your garage sale.
Summer and fall are normally the best times for garage sales.
Craigslist.com is a great place to post info about your garage sale for local viewers.
Sell Books
You can sell your old books to many different places.
Half Price Books, Mcayes Books,
and www.cash4books.net to name a few.
There may also be a little Mom and Pop
book/antique store in your area that will buy things.
You never know unless you look.
Wholesale
Wholesale markets are a great place to find little trinkets,
flowers and other things you can re-sell.
You can ask around town about areas that have wholesale shops
or search your local phone book.
Sell Pictures
If you are good at photography, or have many pictures already,
you can sell your pictures on sites like www.dreamstime.com
Your photos should be high in quality and can't just be of random things.
This is a good option for those with good cameras and/or
good picture taking skills.
Envato
If you are more tech oriented, or are musically inclined, or creative,
you can try the Envato marketplace.
The Envato market place includes sites where you can buy and sell sound samples, computer graphics, Adobe Flash files, website templates, and more.
If you can make those kinds of things,
the envato marketplace is definitely worth checking out.
Their sites include:
www.activeden.net, www.graphicriver.net, and www.audiojungle.net.
CafePress
Another online option is www.cafepress.com
You can make your own shirts and sell them with the help of this site.
It has been around for a while now and is a good site to sell not only shirts, but also other things on which you can print custom graphics.
You can make your own graphics from scratch and they have things to help you as well.
Pawn Shops
Pawn shops are a great way to make some quick cash.
If you have some physical thing of value,
you can make a quick dollar at a pawn shop.
The best items to pawn are electronics, jewelry, work tools and guitars.
You should always ask for more than you really want,
and never go with your receipt.
The best pawn shops are those owned by a Mom and Pop.
You'll get more money if you pawn your item rather than sell it.
