Destash for Extra Cash Online!

Published by neonola at 1:06 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Here are some tips for turning your piles of unused supplies into cash.

Sort Through It

Get a notebook and take an inventory. Write down what it is, the brand, how much there is, and what color. This list will come in handy when it’s time to split the stash into lots!

Don’t make a note of items that are broken, stained, smell funny, or are in amounts too small to be useful. Throw them into the garbage bin. Go ahead; you have my permission.

Grouping
Several related items seem to sell better than individual ones. Don’t get hung up on one category, though. Some interesting grouping ideas are color, texture, or seasonal.

Say Cheese

If you have a website or are on sites like etsy or eBay, you’ll need to take decent pictures. Use the same photography standards you’d use for finished projects. By paying attention to things like lighting and the backdrop, your stash will look like a professional offering instead of like an online garage sale.

Good luck!
