7 Ways To Cash In Big From Spring Cleaning

1. Sell Items in Facebook Garage Sale Groups

Having a garage sale works! You can gather all your stuff and put it on tables and wait outside for a week for people to stop and poke through it all. or search Facebook for "garage sale group" or "yardsale group," and look for groups in the Southern Tier. You'll probably find at least one public group of people who are interested in buying and selling items like clothes, books, baby stuff and more.

Join the group and start listing your stuff.

2. Get a Table at Your Local Flea Market

Skip the garge sale and get a table at The Worlds Largest Yard Sale. You'll be showcasing your stuff directly to hundreds interested buyers without having to go through the typical garage sale steps of putting it in the paper, tacking up signs and praying to the garage sale gods that people show up. You could even go to other peoples yard sales and buy their stuff, mark it up and resell it! 

3. Sell Your Clothes Through Online Consignment Stores

If you've got high quality clothes that you want to exchange for good money, go consignment. Take your brand name or designer items to regular local consignment stores, or sell them to online consignment retailers like Tradesy, Threadflip and Twice. Some of the stores will give out free shipping kits to make it as easy as possible to send in your gently used clothes. Some online consignment stores will pay you in cash, and others pay in store credit. So if it's cash you need make sure thats the payout plan.

4. Sell Your Old Books

Websites like BookScouter, Half.com and Amazon Trade in to see who offers you the most money. For Comic books, ComicBookResources.com gives you the going value of the comics giving you the chance to set a fair price. Be aware that some re-seller sites, like Amazon, only pay in store credit or gift cards, like the consignment shops do.

5. Make Old Newspapers Art
