Need cash today? I've been there many times and learned a lot over the years. Selling your stuff can result in a fair transaction for buyer and seller if you follow some protocols.
We've all heard an anecdotal story about someone finding a piece of jewelry in their grandmother's estate or at a flea market and it turns out to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. We hate to burst your bubble but that is more rare than an incorruptible politician. The good part is that doesn't meant that there's money to be made; in fact there's plenty and with a little effort, you can cash in on selling.
1. Find items: We're not advocating coveting your child's favorite toy, but you can look around your house and find things that you haven't used in ages or that brand new item someone gave to you and you never used. Check your closets, jewelry boxes, garage, basement and other hiding places where you stash items. Most likely once you start finding things, you won't be able to stop.
