Almost everybody I know has unused items just sitting around their house or stored in a garage or closet. Why do we keep things we know that we will probably never use again?
Does it have sentimental value? Does it feel like it would be a waste of all the good money you spent on it? Are we hoarding? Do we like to collect stuff? Do we have so much extra storage place that we’re trying to fill it all up?
Whatever the reason, people do it…myself included.
Some of the things we hang onto can bring in some extra cash if we ever need it or if we’re trying to build up an emergency fund.
For instance, say the new iPhone came out and I prefer to keep all the old models for some strange reason. If I bought the new iPhone, I could go to and sell an older edition to help offset the cost. Or save it, use the money to pay off debt (which I no longer have), or do something fun for once.
People like to buy other people’s stuff, it happens all the time. So why not cash in on your unused stuff and enjoy the free space and extra dough?
