Make Money From Your Spring Clean!

Winter is thankfully on its way out, so now it is time to turn your thoughts to the traditional British spring clean. It's the ideal excuse to get rid of all the junk you've hoarded over winter, but no longer need.

Indeed, 'sweep the broom' and get rid of the clutter. But, instead of hiring a giant skip and throwing the whole lot away, choose a more profitable and eco-friendly way of disposing of it by selling through the classifieds, or even online! Some items will undoubtedly be rubbish and destined for recycling, or as a last resort thrown out, but others could make you a reasonable amount of cash; at least enough to enable you to enjoy the spring sales.

Start by looking through your wardrobe. If you haven't worn an item of clothing for over a year - get rid of it! You won't be wearing it again. Vintage clothing is in demand, so if your cast-off clothing is in reasonable or even mint condition then consider selling them. Alternatively, if that sounds like too much trouble you could donate them any one of the many charity shops dotted around the high street.

Next, consider your furniture and electrical items. Take a close look at all the 'old' items lying around, they could be valuable. If you own vintage musical playback equipment you'll be glad to hear there's a growing market for old turntables and stereos, as many people rediscover the aural delights of vinyl. New turntables with USB connectors are flying off the shelves, but there is also a steadily growing demand for second-hand units, especially quality stereo turntables from the 1970s.

Do you really need that old sofa in the spare room? Settees and sofas are big items to get out of a home, but by selling them online or through local and national UK classifieds you have a ready-made solution; state in the ad that the buyer collects. That way not only will you make room for a new suite or bed, but you've no need to worry about the logistics of getting your old bulky furniture to the tip when it ceases to be of use in its new home!

Searching through your drawers might also unearth some more money spinners, especially if you come across some old mobile phone handsets. Don't throw them out. Many operators are now offering SIM only deals in an attempt to attract new customers. As a result, subscribers taking out those deals are now avidly looking for good quality used mobile handsets through auction sites and online classifieds, to use with their new SIM.

So, spring cleaning needn't be a chore, it can be a great way of raising extra cash while clearing out the clutter!
