Boxes Boxes Everywhere, And All Of Them Will Leave | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/04/30/boxes-boxes-everywhere-and-all-of-them-will-leave/#comment-24173 Debt Free Earth Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:26:22 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/04/30/boxes-boxes-everywhere-and-all-of-them-will-leave/#comment-24173 Hi PT, Just had a yard sale a couple of weeks ago myself and made a whopping $10. We have a busy street but probably didn't promote it as well as we could have. Plus, it seemed like people were looking for specifics instead of general bargain shopping. For example, lots of people looking for girls clothes, but we only had boys. After the yard sale, I took my ebay selling to the next level, opening an ebay store. Up until now, I just sold an item here and there. I put many of the items for $1.99 and up. Sold 2 items of the 20 or so listed so far (a textbook from college and a Rush concert T-shirt) making about $20 in the process. I haven't done my son's clothes yet, but hopefully I'll take the pictures this weekend. If you can get over your ebay phobia this is a real easy way to sell the clothes you still have. (Trust me, I've bought enough stuff for my son on ebay to know this!) Some of the bigger items, we'll do the craigslist thing. For now I figure I can unload my extra stuff cheap and put the money towards my debt snowball. Best of luck with the yardsale! Hi PT,
