Week 24: Sell Unused Stuff

Posted on October 14, 2025October 14, 2025 by Martin Backhausen

Hello! Got old clothes or gadgets? Sell them. It’s extra cash. It clears clutter. It keeps you safe from scams. Let’s start. Walk through your home. Pick items you don’t need. Maybe a jacket or a game console.

List them on eBay or Poshmark. Take clear photos. Write honest descriptions. Set fair prices. Check what others charge. You’re making money. It’s exciting. Be careful with buyers. Scammers offer fake payments. That’s a crime. Use PayPal or cash.

Start with one item. List it today. See how it feels. You’re learning. It’s okay to mess up. Try again. You’re building a habit. Selling feels good. You’re in control. Share your plan with a friend. They can cheer you on.

Scammers love sellers. They send fake checks. Don’t give them your info. Check every buyer. Meet in public for local sales. Your plan is better. You’re avoiding scams. Keep going. You’re making progress.

Try a selling challenge. Sell one item this week. Write down what you earn. Show it to a friend. They might try it. You’re learning to sell. It’s like a game. Every dollar you earn is a victory.

Check your budget. Add your earnings. Maybe it’s $20. Use it for your goals. You’re making choices. It feels good. Tell family about your plan. They can help. You’re not alone. Selling is a skill.

Try a new platform. Maybe Facebook Marketplace. List one item. Be careful. Scammers pose as buyers. Check reviews. You’re learning. It’s fun. Keep your info safe. Don’t share your bank details.

Check your earnings weekly. Write down what you made. Look for patterns. Maybe clothes sell better. List more. You’re building a habit. Earning extra helps your goals. You’re in control.

Try a no-spend day. Don’t buy anything for 24 hours. Save the money. Put it in a jar. It’s motivating. Tell a friend about it. They might join you. You’re learning discipline. It’s exciting. You’re saving money.

Keep your budget handy. Look at it before you sell. It reminds you to stay focused. You’re avoiding scams. You’re in control. Selling is fun. You’re getting stronger. Keep going. You’re doing great.
