Make Money off your Clutter with VarageSale

November 2, 2015 by hewella1 2 Comments

This post is brought to you by VarageSale.

I have done some posts about making money off of your clutter and unwanted items before. For most of those ideas you have to mail your items in or ship them to the buyer. Well, there is an easier way with VarageSale. You can actually sell items in your own local community and not have to worry about shipping anything!

Best described as a “virtual garage sale,” VarageSale is a free website and mobile app that is full of amazing local deals and ways to make extra cash decluttering your home. Connecting members with people they can trust makes buying and selling that much more enjoyable. VarageSale is open to communities nationwide but they have now launched new communities across my home state, North Carolina,  as of October 13th, 2015.
