Show Me the Money

As usual, one of our New Year's resolutions is to clean out the house and get rid of all the extra, un-used, or broken stuff that is taking up space in our closets, basement, and garage. This year, I am making a concerted effort to turn that trash into some cash. While taking stuff to the Goodwill donation center or just throwing it away is a much easier and faster way to downsize the excess, there is nothing like being handed a wad of cash by someone who actually WANTS that stuff you are trying to get rid of. I have found that craigslist is the best option for me. I don't have the time or patience list and host auctions on ebay, and deal with shipping, making sure you get payment, etc. I've had pretty good luck selling things on craigslist, better luck than I've had buying anything. Just today I got rid of a pet/cargo divider for a Subaru that we haven't owned for more than a year. My garage is free of one more piece of clutter and I've got $75 in my pocket. Mission accomplished.
