After I got my first job I bought a bunch of stuff every time I got paid.  I never thought about how often I would use the item, or if I even really needed it.  I just knew that I wanted it.  Now I'm in the process of downsizing everything that I own.  Which is a daunting task all by itself, but it's necessary.  I like to make four piles whenever I go through my old things: stuff to throw away, stuff to donate, stuff to sell, and stuff to keep.  The only thing that is difficult is deciding where to sell my items.  There's so many options! If you're in the same boat, I'm writing this post to help you out.

1. Sell at a local flea market/Have a garage sale

This option works out if you need the cash ASAP and have a lot you could get away with selling.  Although you may not get as much money as you want and you have to spend a lot of time setting it all up.

2. Sell on eBay

I've actually sold a lot on eBay.  It's easy to use and I don't have to spend a lot of time worrying about if my stuff will sell or not.  I usually price everything starting at 99 cents and do the auction style.  Some items do make a decent amount of money, but sometimes they sell directly at that 99 cent price.  Also one of the biggest problems I've dealt with are buyers scamming me.  eBay is what you make of it though.

3. Sell on the app Mercari

I discovered this app over the summer.  It's my favorite way to resell my items.  You set your price, a buyer will choose to buy it, and then you both rate each other after the buyer receives their item.  Mercari will stick up for both buyers and sellers if a dispute ever arises.  When you have at least $20 sold you can make a direct deposit to your bank account.  They also have a lot of cute stuff for sale.  You even get a $2 credit to buy anything you want when you sign up.  Just use the special code TBDDWK when you download it here.  It's definitely my favorite option and I've had it work out really well for me.
