Last year I went on a “sell everything on eBay” kick, and was able to make about $300-400 after all was said and done. Not a bad little sum. This spring & summer I’d like to turn that up a few notches because:

1. I’m sick of having a lot of this unused stuff in my house.
2. I could always use the extra cash.

These days I prefer to use eBay rather than Craigslist simply because there’s more accountability, less anonymity involved. Even though eBay takes a small commission off my auction (the seller fee), that is a worthwhile expense, in my opinion, for the accountability it affords me and the buyers. Some types of items don’t actually sell on eBay though, so I am going to have to go the Craigslist route. I’m not able to do a yard sale myself as I live in an apartment building, however one of my friends said she was going to have one this spring/summer, so I’m going to tack my items on to hers, and do it that way.

So keep your eyes on the bar chart, and hope that it goes up to a nice big and fat number.
