Another side income source I love is to sell stuff online. Whether it’s books, DVDs, old electronics, or even clothes, there’s a place where you can make a few bucks here and there selling to those who may be looking for a gently used item. Some of the bigger names in the game are:

Amazon.com: You can sell just about anything on Amazon.com. I’ve sold a number of books, DVDs, old electronics, etc. It has such a huge presence online, and a lot of people know that you can get a great deal from folks like me who just want to clear their shelves. You can also trade in what doesn’t sell for an Amazon.com gift card. If you do a lot of your purchasing through Amazon, it’s a win-win!

Craigslist: If you haven’t heard of or used Craigslist by now, then it’s possible you may have been living under a rock! I like Craigslist for selling bigger items that would be impossible to ship, or didn’t sell at a garage sale.

eBay.com: I used to sell a lot of stuff on here, but with the fees and the fact that listings expire, I just don’t use it anymore. But, I know plenty of people who do, so don’t let me discourage you!

Facebook Marketplace: This isn’t a widely known selling platform, but it’s worth a look. If it ever catches on the way Facebook itself has, Craigslist may go out of business!

Handy E-Books on Reselling

• Barcode Booty: How I found and sold $2 million of ‘junk’ on eBay and Amazon, And you can, too, using your phone: I downloaded this book on a whim, and I’m glad I did! It’s a great resource for learning how to find things to sell (books, mainly), and how to go about selling them using Amazon and eBay.
