With the economy the way it is, most of us are looking for ways to make a little extra cash. If you've got a lot of "stuff" laying around your home that you really haven't used in years, maybe you're considering selling it off.
A few friends of mine have turned into e-bay entrepreneurs in the last few months... cleaning out the clutter in their closets and actually making good money on it. They've even starting offering their services (for a small percentage) to acquaintances. If you know how to use E-bay or Craig's List, that may be a great way to make a few extra bucks when you get home from your 9 to 5.
But what if you're not very computer savvy? Don't forget the good old garage sale. The weather will be getting nicer soon and if that doesn't motivate you to do some spring cleaning maybe a cash incentive will. Who knows what you can find hidden away that you could make some money on?
Then there's the pawn shops. If you've got jewelry, an old musical instrument or baseball cards, you might consider shopping them around at a few shops to see what you can get for them. Even if you've never stepped foot in a pawn shop, if you've got something you think you can make some cash on, it could be something to consider.
