This article is about selling things you don’t need anymore. It’s about being smart and frugle.
From FrugalVillage.com, comes some very good advice,”Buy it, enjoy it, and resell it”.
Frugal people buy merchandise and typically use it until it wears out. But there are times when you can buy items that hold their value or at least have decent resale value, so you can resell them when you’re ready. For example, you might want to trade up, need to sell something to make some extra money, or you simply no longer want it.
I bought used for $17 and traded into the bookstore at the end of the semester for $25. That was my best deal. I honestly don’t do this with a lot of things, but my husband does. He has a lot of computer/electronics stuff that he buys and resells. He bought a hardware mixer for $600 and wants to list it on eBay. He’ll probably get $350
There are other, bigger benefits:
- Someone else will get the use of a very good item.
- Less stuff in the land fill.
- You have piece of mind that your item when to someone who wants it, and it’ not taking up space in your house.
- College students need stuff too. They normally need to find it cheap. This is one way.
