Turn Clutter into Cash

Are holiday credit card bills looming? Sell last years gently used gifts and like new items you no longer use.

SAN ANTONIO, TX – January 10, 2007 – The holidays are over. Gifts abound. Everywhere. What’s a person to do? Do you really need your old “whatever” now that you have the latest and the greatest? It’s time to merge the new with the old and move a few things out. Consignment Pal can guide you through the transition.

How about sharing the wealth? Give the items to a relative or your favorite charity. But what if the current economic situation makes you your favorite charity? How about selling the items and keeping the money yourself? With Christmas credit card bills looming, this option adds money to YOUR wallet. Getting the items out of your house will help you fulfill your New Year’s Resolution to reduce clutter around the house. And who couldn’t use a little help there.

Even the latest designer clothes, electronics, toys, etc. can look like clutter when there’s too much of a good thing. Why not sell the things you no longer use? Fewer things equal fewer items to pick up at the end of the day. Or week… or month—depending on how often you clean house. Just think. You’ll have more room to enjoy what you really love.

But where do you sell all your stuff? Check out www.consignmentpal.com for the National Directory of Consignment and Resale Stores. It lists eBay Drop Off Stores, individual ebay sellers, consignment and resale stores, and antique stores. The website also explains the similarities and differences between selling options.

For eBay sellers, you’ll have your cash in about 15–30 days depending on the seller. Houston eBay drop off stores include Drop It Off, eAuction Depot, Ez Auction Stop, EzBayer, iSold It, and The Online Outpost.
