Frugal Sunday - Let's go to a Garage Sale and Make Money

I mentioned several weeks ago that garage sales are a booming thing in my area. They probably are pretty popular where you are as well. Have you ever thought about finding things at garage sales to sell on auction sites and/or flea markets? Take a look at the enclosed article and see if it might not work for you.


Let's go to a Garage Sale and Make Money
By: Chaele McMillan

You can go to a garage sale, buy something like a camera, cookie jars, children clothing, furniture and consign it to a second-hand store. The store might sell your $5.00 camera for $30.00. If they keep a $10.00 commission, You would still make $15.00.

Another way to make money off your items is to buy from thrift stores, Sales at retail stores and put your items on Ebay. It will cost you a few dollars to place your item but you can make money doing this. People have made thousands and thousands of dollars off of Ebay.

The key to making money by re-sell is to not invest much money in the item. Don’t make the price so low that the commission and fees make you lose money and learn how to wheel and deal at Garage Sales. Offer to buy 2 items and get a discount on the third.

You may not get rich but you might be surprised what you come across and it might pay your way to the movies!
