Are you looking for some making money ideas? Apparently the average American has over $10 000 worth of stuff sitting around their house. I recently had a clear out and although it wasn’t $10 000 worth, I certainly made a few hundred quid just by selling a few items on ebay that I no longer used. Old cameras, an unused bicycle and a couple of mobile phones all went on ebay. Maybe you collected comics as a kid or have some goldmine sitting in your attic.

Car boot sales
There is money to be made from either arranging a car boot sale and charging entry to buyers and sellers, or simply selling off your old stuff on your own stall. You can also make money by finding bargains and re selling them on ebay. You can haggle on a car boot sale to get the lowest price possible for an item. Look for items you think will sell and don’t be afraid to walk away if the price is too high. Remember you have to add postage costs when selling on ebay so make sure you get a bargain.
Arrive early and look through boxes for the bargains. Traders are always at car boot sales early in the morning to get the best deals and find the bargains. Make sure you do some friendly haggling! Once you are home go to www.ebay.co.uk and upload some pictures of your items. Make sure you state the condition of your bargains and put them on a 10 day auction. The lower you start the bids at, the more interest you are likely to get.
