Tips for bringing in some extra cash for the holiday

It’s estimated that the average person has around $2,500 worth of valuable items lying around their house. That’s a lot of extra income that most people don’t realize they have!

Peter Pierce, owner of Redmond's Postal Connections Express store that offers the iSOLD It eBay online sales service, shares his tips for bringing in some extra cash during the holidays:

• From junk drawers to entire rooms, everyone has unwanted or unused items lying around – and possibly a lot of value! Start going through your things and sort them into piles:
  • Keepsakes
  • Junk
  • Re-sale items
• Look on eBay to see what people are commonly selling and consider if you have similar items to sell.
• Items that sell for top-dollar include:
  • Old electronics
  • Musical instruments
  • Designer handbags
  • Sporting equipment
• Receive a gift you either don’t want or don’t need? Rather than letting it sit in your closet untouched or waiting in the long return lines that often build around the holidays, consider posting that gift for sale online.
