Four Baby and Kids Items to Sell on Ebay for Quick Profit Posted: 07 Jun 2014 10:17 PM PDT Four Baby and Kids Items to Sell on Ebay for Quick Profit is a post originally published on: Everything Finance - Everything Finance - Its all about Money!
1. Brand Name Kids and Teens Clothes: Popular and expensive brand name kids and teen clothing items are quick to make an extra buck. Forget selling common brands or out of date clothing – those will only cost you more time. Lots also do well, as long as you sell the same size and same style/brand name together. A lot of 11 teen girl shirts (and one pair of shorts) sold on Ebay for $29.99 with $13 shipping. Chances are shipping will not cost that high, so the seller will most likely ring in a profit of $26-27. That is a little over $2/piece, which is not huge, but still much better than selling at a yard sale. Baby clothes seem to be a hit and miss on Ebay. I got lucky a few years ago and found a Burberry baby outfit for $1.99 at my local thrift store. I sold it within 24 hours for $75 on Ebay. Try listing the top of the line items as well as Gymboree sets for the best return. 2. Your Kid’s Classic Toys: If you have older kids, then there is a good chance you have some high quality toys in your garage that can be sold quickly. Many parents search Ebay for lego lots, vintage toys, 1980-1990 character toys, and American girl dolls. Round up your old toys and look up similar listings on Ebay. Harry Potter and Lord of the Ring merchandise is quite valuable on Ebay since they are not being manufactured anymore. I made an $10 profit on Harry Potter shower curtain hooks and $30 on a Harry Potter Clue game. It is worth looking up! One more note on kids toys, toy lots can also be profitable for you. I made about $20 profit off of a Cat and the Hat plush lot that I had bought at a yard sale 3. Kid’s Book Lots: Individual kid books do not sell very well, since most buyers want to get the most product for their money. Instead, list your kid books in lots. The best lots are those of a popular series. A full set of Boxcar Children or Magic Tree House will sell quickly. Sometimes a combined lot of book titles will sell well, but it is best to keep like books together. If you have popular and recent home school curriculum, Ebay is a hot place to sell it. Sonlight and My Father’s World lots move quickly on Ebay, as long as they are not too old. 4. Popular Baby Stuff to Sell: Like I said earlier, baby stuff can be a hit or miss. Some baby things that do well on Ebay are name brand carriers, such as Ergo and Moby. Boppy covers and JJ Cole car seat accessories are easy to sell and ship. Name brand cloth diapers are also quite popular to sell. When it comes to your baby and kid stuff, when in doubt, look it up! Ebay offers so many free listings each month, that it is worth listing. If you don’t sell it, try two more times before moving on. You can then move to a Facebook selling page in your area, aconsignment sale, or a yard sale.

Five Ways to Tackle Credit Card Debt Once and For All Posted: 08 Jun 2014 05:41 PM PDT Five Ways to Tackle Credit Card Debt Once and For All is a post originally published on: Everything Finance - Everything Finance - Its all about Money!
1. Stop Using the Card: This is painful, but it is essential! Continuing using your credit card when you are already up to your eyeballs in debt will just keep you buried. If you have to cut it up, then do it. Once your debt is under control, you can always request a replacement card. What about an emergency? Establishing an emergency bank account of $1000, like Dave Ramsey suggests, is a better plan than relying on your piece of plastic. 2. Check Your Statement: The next thing that is crucial to do is to check your statements to make sure all charges are correct. Secondly, find any charges that you can return. Yes, returning $50 worth of merchandise on a $5000 credit card debt may seem insignificant, but it is the right step forward to paying off your debt. 3. Cut Something from Your Spending: Look at your weekly expenses. Do you regularly spend $5 on a Starbucks or $10 for fast food for your family? Perhaps you spend $40 a month to get your nails done. Whatever the luxury charges, put a temporary hold on them. Try to find an extra $25 a week in your spending that you can put towards your credit card. Then, make small weekly payments on top of the minimum amount due. Paying $100 extra towards your credit card each month will speed up the time its paid off. 4. Find Ways to Pay Off a Large Chunk: Look around your house for everything you don’t need that can sell. Sell the pricey stuff on Ebay or Craigslist, and put the rest out for a garage sale. Most people have an extra $1000-3000 worth of unused items in their homes. Selling it can be time consuming, but it will give you a nice chunk to pay off your debt. During tax season, you can devote a large chunk of your refund to paying off your debt too. 5. How to Pay Off Multiple Cards: There is some debate at which to pay off first: credit cards with higher interests or credit cards with lower totals. Some experts want you to tackle the high interest credit cards first to save you money. Dave Ramsey followers are encouraged to pay off the lowest debt first to create a snowball effect. Either method works, as long as you are power paying one of the debts. This means that you pay the minimum payments for all cards except the one you are trying to pay off the quickest. That one card you will pay as much as possible each month to conquer the debt. Credit card debt is no easy task to deal with, but it is possible to be debt free. Keep yourself encouraged by reading other individual’s success stories of paying off debt. |
