One Man's Trash...

Make Money With Castoffs

Recycle, recycle, recycle. It's not just the chant of environmentalists, it's the mantra of savvy business people everywhere. Just because something's no longer wanted doesn't mean that it's without value. If you can see worth in what's worthless to you, then you can make money in salvage. Sell things like:

  • Old clothes to vintage clothing stores

  • Old toys, records, photographs, etc., to collectors

  • Old furniture to antique dealers or used furniture stores

  • Unused jewelry to jewelers

  • Old business equipment to second hand dealers

  • A wrecked car for parts

  • The architectural salvage from a dilapidated building or barn (ceiling beams, floors, mantle, shutters, etc.)

I think you get the picture. Once you've cleared the clutter from your house and realize the profits to be made, you can place ads to buy OTHER people's stuff to sell. Remember, people would rather spend money than time, so most folks would rather sell something to you for next to nothing rather than take the time to dispose of it themselves.

You can then resell it at a profit by placing classified ads, having a garage sale, or taking a booth at a flea market...or by joining the action on eBay and spending a lot less time and money with good or better results.

Remember, "one man's trash is another man's treasure"; see how easy it is to earn YOUR treasure by bringing buyers and sellers together. Good luck.
