Now that we mentioned all of that, let us move on and talk about how you can make money selling your junk.

The basics of making money selling your junk

Have anything in your home that you do not use anymore? Instead of throwing them in the rubbish bin, turn them into money-makers and sell them!

First things first, determine what you want to sell and put them in a separate box. Create an inventory and list down all the possible junk items that you can sell to make some money. Here are some strong examples of valuable ‘junk’ that you can sell to make a bit of a fortune.

1. CDs, DVDs and books (i.e., multimedia stuff): On the ‘do not throw list’, these items are probably on the top of our list. They may not have that much value to you, but they definitely do to others mainly because of their content.
2. Clothing and textile: Clothing and textile waste have long been a problem in Australia. Depending on its condition, you could see your old clothing and textile recycled, repurposed or sold. Sell your clothes or other valuable textile and do not treat them as junk to earn some money.
3. Toys: Some collectors focus on toys. They can pay a significant amount of price depending on how rare the toy is. Instead of throwing your old toys in the rubbish, why not sell them?
4. Video games and consoles: I, for one, collect Nintendo video games and consoles simply because of nostalgia. I want to relive the feeling of playing Pokémon in my room using my Game Boy. There are others like me who would certainly like to collect as many video games and consoles as possible. If you have one or a few in your closet that you want to get rid of, sell them to other video-game lovers.

Obviously, there are plenty more examples of ‘junk’ that you can sell for money. Bottomline is, just determine what you want to sell first and place them all in a box.

Some tips if you want to sell your junk to earn money

• You have to make sure you know what a particular item you want to sell is worth. There are plenty of resources online you can access to determine how much an item costs when reselling it. Check out items similar to yours on sites such as Craiglist, eBay and Facebook Marketplace to get an idea of how much you should sell your items.
• Make sure your items are in good condition. Clean them up and organise them so that you would attract more interested people.
• Before posting them online, make sure that you take a high-quality picture of them to attract more potential buyers.
• Be kind to potential buyers. Answer questions about the item/s truthfully and enthusiastically so the person would be more inclined to buy. Always be responsive, as well, so the potential buyer can see your sincerity in selling the item.
