Boring clothes or broken equipment can be sold, scrapped, or discounted.

Get money

Classified sites

What to sell: clothes, shoes, appliances, furniture, souvenirs, books, leftovers from building materials - anything you like.

Selling over the Internet is easy enough, as it greatly expands the circle of potential buyers. Almost anything can be realized. To do this, you need to take into account several nuances:

1. Take good photographs of the subject in which it would be visible from all angles. Be honest in describing the defects and photograph them separately so that the buyer can assess whether the condition of the goods is satisfied.

2. Enter the correct title. The product should correspond to the search query, but at the same time attract the buyer, give him a little more information than just an indication of a group of products, and hit the target audience.

Laptop motherboard is worse than Lenovo v580c laptop motherboard. In the second case, the ad will have fewer views, but only those who really need this particular product will click on the title.

Items that have no size or compatibility also need details: “Lenin's bust of 1924” will interest you more than just “Lenin's bust”.

3. Don't go overboard with creativity in your description. The emotional component may be important for some unique things, but the buyer is hardly interested in how you got used to your soul to the washing machine. Indicate instead the spin speed, wash water consumption and other technical data.

Some items do not have to be sold in their entirety. There may not be anyone interested in an outdated laptop, but the owners of similar equipment will quickly buy it up for spare parts.

The most popular ad sites are Avito and Yula, but there may be a local site visited in your city. Also, find thematic groups on social media. And do not neglect Odnoklassniki either, people there are actively buying used things.

When selling via the Internet, beware of scammers: do not provide PIN codes from bank SMS, make appointments in public places, preferably under cameras.

Flea market

What to sell:clothes, shoes, jewelry, souvenirs, figurines and other trinkets.

It is fashionable to buy on flea beetles now, why not join the trend from the other side. Find out the terms of sale: is it enough to just come with your piece of polyethylene and put the goods on it, or do you have to pay someone for the right to trade, legally or illegally.

Flea markets have a more civilized replacement: some stores will offer you a shelf or rail for rent. But if there are no buyers, you will not only not earn, but also lose money on rent.

Commissions

What to sell:clothes, shoes, accessories, dishes, books, records and so on.

Thrift stores, or second-hand stores, operate in two ways:

• appraise things and buy them at a set value;
• accept them for sale, and then settle with you when the item is bought, withholding their reward.

This option should be used by someone who does not want to bother with online sales. All you need to do is take the items to the store in proper condition.

Handing over for processing

What to give:waste paper, plastic, glass, household appliances, textiles.

You can't make millions by renting things out, but you can earn something. Moreover, most of the materials for recycling are accumulated spontaneously, without much effort on your part. So, in St. Petersburg you can exchange 1 kg for 8 rubles, 1 kg of broken glass jars - for 70 kopecks, 1 kg of waste paper - for 2 rubles. In Moscow, for 1 kg they will pay from 4 rubles.

But there are two nuances here. First, you have to look for collection points and transport your "savings" there. Secondly, it may be psychologically difficult for some to hand over bottles, because for a long time it was considered a symbol of marginality.

Don't worry: today a person with a string bag, in which bottles tinkle, is the most fashionable in the area, because both environmental responsibility and string bags are in trend.

For discounts

Disposal

What to give:equipment, clothing, textiles.

The main advantage of this method is that it is immediately clear where to run with things: with clothes - to a clothing store, with a washing machine - to a hypermarket of household appliances. For this you will be given a discount on your next purchase.

As for clothes, you will get a 15% discount on one item for a package with clothes of any brands, at - 10%. Bed linen is periodically accepted: in exchange for a set, the Swedish concern gives a 15% discount on one sheet, pillowcase or duvet cover.

Recycling equipment works on the same principle. You are giving away your property in exchange for a discount on your purchase. Moreover, large-scale items are most often taken out by the company's employees when delivering new equipment. But there are also disadvantages: discounts are usually provided not for the entire range of products, but for selected models.

Please note: recycling programs vary from network to network. In some stores you will be offered a discount, in others you will be able to take out old equipment free of charge. Carefully read the conditions on the website of the network.
