Clean out your closet using Craigslist

September 10th, 2007 · No Comments

The next time you tell yourself that your need to have a garage sale, then put it off again because you can’t give up an entire weekend, consider taking you garage sale online. Hit up Craigslist, find the nearest city, and start posting. You’re best bet is to go for a single ad for all the miscellaneous junk that would probably find a nice home in the landfill, and one for each big ticket item or set of big ticket items. Kitchen and laundry appliances can be grouped into a post, and living room furniture another. If your goal for the garage sale is to get everything gone and you don’t really care about the extra cash you might grab then think about putting an ad in the free category and let the people come clean out your closet for you. I was able to rid myself of about 170 tongue and groove pine panels in a matter of hours, that were doing nothing but taking up space. 

Nice touch: Take pictures of things that might be hard to imagine or that you want gone first, such as the pattern on your china or the color of vinyl on your 50’s art deco dining room set.
