If you need to declutter the house and you are looking for ways to make money, you have come to the right place! I know we all have random stuff clutter up our homes to some degree. Did you know that you can actually make money off of this weird stuff? Yep, leave it to Ebay buyers to find uses for just about anything.
Check out some of the strange things that are known to sell on Ebay:
Paper Towel and Toilet Paper Tubes – This is one that surprised me the most. People actually pay for these? Of course they need to be clean and dry, but you can sell a lot of 30+ for upwards of $10! That is $10 for something that you were literally going to throw in the garbage anyway. Start keeping a bag in the house to toss these in to keep them clean and dry while you save them up to sell.
Junk Drawer Items – Who knew that someone wanted that old remote that you have been storing in the junk drawer for years? Clean out your junk drawer and do a quick Ebay search. Chances are you will find stuff to sell in there!
M.A.C. Containers (Empty!) – Do you use M.A.C. makeup? If so, don’t throw out those empty makeup containers. M.A.C. has a trade in program and people love their M.A.C. makeup. There are quite a few buyers out there willing to spend several dollars per container buying these on Ebay to use as trade in later. I have literally never considered saving my old makeup containers, but I am rethinking that now!
Pine Cones – Artists love to create with things from nature and they need to buy their supplies somewhere. Pine cones sell for a decent amount on Ebay, so go clean up your yard and make some money!
Empty Egg Cartons – Here’s another item that artists and crafters love, egg cartons. The material that your egg cartons are made from don’t matter as long as they are clean. Keep in mind too that no one is going to buy a single egg carton, but they will buy a stack of them. So next time you finish a dozen eggs don’t toss the container, just keep it aside until you get 15 or more. Then put them up for sale on Ebay. You will definitely get some of your egg money back!
A good sized stack of cartons often sells for $10 and up!
So, as you can see, you can sell some random stuff on Ebay! So next time you go to throw something away, give it a second thought and see if Ebay may be a better place for it.
Do you buy or sell on Ebay? Have you seen any other weird things sell?
