How to make money from Spring Cleaning
There is nothing like an overdue spring clean to give your home that refreshing feeling. It’s always nice to start a new season with a clean slate, but it’s even better to start it with extra money in your wallet. De-clutter and make money at the same time. It’s a win-win situation.
Here are the types of items you can sell or trade in to clear out the clutter and fill up your wallet:
Jewellery
This is where you can make the most money, so if you’re motivated to start your spring cleaning with plenty of momentum, start with your jewellery box.
Anything from old, broken necklaces to worn out rings and watches can fetch you a good price in stores. You get to clean out your home and recycle your jewellery for cash to spend on anything you want. You can even trade it in for different jewellery if anything catches your eye.
Old phones and tablets
Another great area to raise a considerable amount of cash quickly. We’ve all been there, all excited to get the latest handset only to be told an even newer version is being released a few months down the line. Not only does it reduce the value of your current phone, but it also encourages you to upgrade to a newer model leaving it behind in a drawer to collect dust.
If you have no use for it, you might as well sell it and get quick cash. You can also use this method if you want to get out of being tied down to a lengthy contract. Just sell your current phone and use the cash towards purchasing a newer model.
The same think applies to any old tablets you may bought. That shiny iPad you excitingly got a few years ago isn’t as fast as it used to be. It slows down with every new update, apps become incompatible, and the screen gets duller every year. If at this point its just an oversized kindle, then it’s time to back up your data and sell it off for a newer one.
Speakers and Amplifiers
Selling unused speakers and amplifiers are another good way to make quick cash. They often get cast away to the corners of the house where they are forgotten about. Sometimes even portable speakers are left in a drawer or in their box where they are forgotten about. If they’re collecting more dust than they are being used, then it’s probably time to sell them on.
Amplifiers are always a hot item to sell off, whether you’ve stopped playing or need a bigger amp then you can trade them in our stores where we often stock a wide selection of different products.
Games and DVD’s
Long gone are the days of cassette tapes and VHS players. Everything is instant or a digital download now, to the point where DVD’s and games are becoming as archaic as casettes. With Netflix and Amazon available to most people.
Games are being directly downloaded to your consoles and movies are available on Netflix and Amazon.
There is still a special place for buying the physical copies for having something to hold on to, but it’s time to let go. Have a look through your disc collection and see what you don’t use anymore or what’s available online. Might as well sell it off and get some extra cash and free up some space at the same time.
