Sell my unwanted books and other items

I never got the chance to have my summer garage sale that I wanted to get rid of a bunch of stuff, but I did manage to get rid of some books, donate old clothes and throw a bunch of clutter out.

My mom had a garage sale a few weeks ago so I dropped off a couple of things for her to sell for me.

I sold a Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse for $15 and and a Star Wars VHS box set for $8 – not bad for stuff I would probably throw out eventually.

I joined a website called BookMooch.

You list the books you’re done with, people “mooch” them from you, and you ship them out. For every book you ship out, you earn a point. These points are good for “mooching” a book off someone else.

Not quite selling my books, but getting new ones – so that’s good!

So since I plan on moving out of my house soon, I figured now is the time to start selling some junk I’m not using!

So far I’ve sold:

• My old 20” TV/DVD combo for $60
• An old GPS unit I never use for $180
• An MP3 player I never use for $50

So far so good – all this money goes to paying off some debt I have so I have nothing to worry about when I’m in my own place.

I have a bunch more stuff I’m in the process of selling…

Another MP3 player, a Game Boy Advance, some games, and books! Lots of books!

Well, I haven’t sold anything yet, but when I cleaned my room today I gathered a box and two hefty bags of stuff.

Books, books and more books, toys, games, computer parts galore!

...coming to a garage sale near you!

When I do goal #23 later on this weekend I will box up all the stuff I’m not using and sell it at a garage sale I’ll be having sometime this summer.
