Let me guess, you’ve got a few mystery boxes in the garage, a closet that could double as a thrift store, and a drawer of random chargers for devices you haven’t seen since the Obama administration.

We all hold onto stuff we might use again but never do. That clutter? It could be worth real cash and might come in handy for Christmas and holiday gifts. 

I’ll show you exactly where to sell it, what to skip and how to do it smarter.

👕 Poshmark: For fashion

Got a suit or jeans that haven’t fit since 2019? That handbag you swore you’d use but didn’t? Poshmark is where fashion gets a fresh start and you get paid.

Their new Smart Sell feature is like your own little pricing assistant. You set a price range, and the app handles the hagglers. No back-and-forth, no “will you take $5?” nonsense.

📌 Why I like it: You control the price, the audience is huge, and the shipping is a breeze. They send you a label.

⚠️ Heads up: You’ll need to snap a few decent photos and write a short description. If you can send a text, you can list on Poshmark.

📦 eBay: For tech, collectibles and weird stuff

Old iPods. Retro cameras. Game Boys. I’ve seen people list broken VCRs and still make money. Why? Because eBay is the Wild West of resale and collectors are always on the hunt.

If you’ve got something quirky, vintage or techy, someone wants it. 

📌 Why I like it: You can sell almost anything to a global audience. Auctions can drive up prices, and people pay for nostalgia.

⚠️ Heads up: There are fees, you’ll need to ship and you might have to answer a few questions. But the payoff can be big.

🏡 Facebook Marketplace: For local, big or heavy stuff

The air fryer you used twice. That printer you “might” fix. The Peloton that turned into a clothes rack. Facebook Marketplace is perfect for those things you just want gone.

📌 Why I like it: No shipping, no platform fees and often same-day sales.

⚠️ Heads up: You’ll need to message with buyers, and yes, flakes come with the territory. Meet in public, and stick to digital payments or cash. Safety first.

Pro tip: Run your picture through GPT with a brief voice note and have it write the description for you!  

Pick one thing, list it and see what happens. You’ll get some cash, and if nothing else, it’ll finally get your partner, roommate or spouse to stop asking, “And why do we still have this?”
