We often end up hoarding unnecessary stuff in our houses. Let’s look at the things that will make you money and declutter your home if you sell them.
Old Vinyl Records
Sell old vinyl records online on platforms like eBay, Discogs, or MusicStack, where collectors and enthusiasts seek rare or vintage records. You can also try local record stores, flea markets, or garage sales. Ensure that you check the condition and value of your records before selling them.
Vintage Typewriters
You can restore and sell them as functional or decorative pieces on Etsy, eBay, or other online marketplaces. You can also rent them for events, photo shoots, or weddings. It also makes sense to give typewriter repair or customization services to other owners.
Lego Sets
Sell complete Lego sets or individual pieces on websites like BrickLink, BrickOwl, or Lego Marketplace. In 2022, a couple made over $1200 by selling their kids’ old Lego collection.
If you create custom Lego models or kits and sell them online or offline, you will earn some bucks while decluttering. Try to join a Lego fan club or community and participate in events, contests, or exhibitions.
Antique Doorknobs And Hardware
Selling antique hardware and doorknobs as collectibles or architectural salvage on eBay, Etsy, or other online platforms is smart. You can use them to refurbish or upgrade your furniture or doors. Repurposing them into creative items like coat racks, curtain rods, or candle holders is a good idea.
Used Textbooks
You can sell them back to your school, bookstore, or online retailers like Amazon, Chegg, or BookScouter. It is also a good practice to donate books to libraries, charities, or needy students. Additionally, use them as reference materials for your studies or projects.
Board Games
Sell them online on websites like BoardGameGeek, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace, where gamers and hobbyists seek new or classic games.
Instead of selling them in your garage sale, opt for Amazon. It’s not difficult to make profits of up to $200 on vintage and collectible board games. You can also host board game nights at your home or a local venue and charge a small fee or accept donations.
Craft Supplies
Use certain craft supplies to make handmade products (cards, candles, ornaments, or jewelry). You should sell your creations on Etsy, at craft fairs, or local shops. Also, offer craft workshops or tutorials online or offline and share your skills and tips with others.
Designer Sunglasses
You can sell them online on Poshmark, ThredUp, or Depop, where fashion lovers look for trendy or vintage accessories. Swapping them with your friends or family is easy for other items you need or want. You can also donate them to charities or organizations that support people needing eyewear.
