List one thing for sale every day in February
« on: January 30, 2017, 08:56:06 AM »
I don't have a ton of stuff to sell, but this is something I end up procrastinating on and feel that I can. I am pretty sure if I hunt around my apartment, I can find one thing to list for sale every day in February. 28 things. Earning just $5-10 here and there is totally worth it to me, in reduced stuff-ownership & increased roth contributions. Are you the same? Let's support one another to sell things this month!

My goal is to list one thing every single day on Poshmark, Ebay, Craigslist, etc or take it to a consignment shop/used bookstore.

This is a rolling "average" - so if you have busy weekdays, you can get everything done for the week by listing 7 things on the weekends! Caveat: BUT you must list at least one thing each week - so no procrastinating until February 28th and then listing 28 things on the final day.

The goal is to list 28 things by the end of the month.

I'm in.  I have some stuff I've been putting off selling that needs to go.

I'm in as I need some motivation with this as well. I seriously doubt I have 28 items worth selling, but I'll do my best!

Started tonight.

Super Mario Bros. 3 for NES, listed on eBay.  Probably will only net $10 after everything, but it's a simple/cheap one to mail.

Tomorrow: an old Canon FD lens that we no longer use or need.  Probably worth about $50.

13) crutches (2 items)
14) hammock MADE $10
15) record console MADE $10
16) space heaters (2 items)
17) wainscoting (2 items, plus scraps)

Alright, squeaking in at the end of the month. Only posted 17 items for sale (unless you count each individual component). I'll go to the consignment store tomorrow to see if I have any cash to collect, so I can do a final tally. I won't make much money, but it'll feel good to drop off at goodwill what didn't sell and have my space back!

Good for you, LV! I'm glad to see you stuck to it. I'm attempting to do the same over at the "Odd" Chore challenge. I hope everything sells soon.

Thanks! I figured maybe people migrated over to the Get Rid of Clutter thread or something. I still have a few more things I can clear out. Once the ball gets rolling, I just want to purge it all!

$88 total. Not much but still worthwhile.

I wanted to post something but the account is linked to my youngest DS, FB account (I refuse to make a FB account) and he's studying for an admission test, and didn't want to generate a distraction for him in case he 'll get updates....but will post this later

I really want to get on board with this



 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
