Many homeowners will begin their annual cleaning and decluttering as the weather begins to cool. Summer supplies are packed and stored, college students have moved their things back to apartments and dorms, and it’s a great time to make some decisions on household items you no longer use.
But what to do with those unwanted items! Before you consider putting the time into the planning, preparation and staging of a garage or yard sale, consider turning those unwanted items into instant cash. Pawn shops and second-hand stores are great resources for quality unwanted jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, guns and accessories, and other collectibles. With professional appraisers on hand and a ready supply of potential buyers, you can usually receive top dollar on many of your items with a minimal investment of time.
Aside from the work involved in hosting a garage or yard sale, most people find it difficult to determine a fair price for items that are likely to be in demand. Also, buyers are limited to those who happen to be available and stop by the weekend you hold your sale. Local shops know their clientele and can price your items based on their true value and current demand.
You may also have the option of consigning an item, giving you more control over the ultimate selling price of you are willing to wait for the optimum buyer.
