Spring Cleaning Tips for Clearing Clutter and How to Turn Some of Your Trash Into Cash

Do you have too many things? Especially too many books, CDs, DVDs, games, etc.? Sometimes it’s hard to let go. Read on for some ideas that can help you get rid of excess books.

I have my own challenges with too much stuff. The thing is, I really like my books. I’ve also invested a considerable amount of money in them, so I can’t just throw them away, even if I don’t think I’ll ever read them again.

But … this is what is helping me:

There is a way to release them and feel good too. See the following options:

1) Sell your stuff on Amazon Marketplace

That one works especially well with books, media mail items of all kinds, and even other things.

You can go to Amazon, find the book or item you need to sell, click “Have one to sell,” and you’re good to go.

2) eBay

You can also sell things on eBay, of course. eBay works best with non-book items. Still, that is not always the case. The trick is knowing what to sell and where.

The same principle I mentioned earlier applies: It’s always easier to let things go if you know they’re going to go to someone who loves them enough to be willing to pay for them.

3) Your favorite charity

You can then toss anything that doesn’t fit into any of the above categories to your favorite charity. Pick one that is really useful for your stuff. If you have books and multimedia items, choose a charity that has a store with a good book section.

There are a couple of places locally that have a very well-stocked book section, and I know that if I give them my books they will find a new home. Another charity, on the other hand, has only a couple of cluttered shelves for books; Book lovers are unlikely to search for special finds.

4) dirty garage

Yard sales are a very popular option when it comes to spring cleaning tips. At some level, it may be less work than eBay OR Amazon.com, but the throughput will likely be much lower as well.

On the other hand, it helps to clear clutter and can be much faster than putting things up for sale. But you would have to be willing to let them go for pennies on the dollar.
