You’d be amazed at how many people will be interested in buying everything from your old furniture or car parts, to your clothing and even houseplants.
If your neighborhood has a robust NextDoor community, list your items individually or announce a full-blown garage sale. Facebook, meanwhile, even allows payments to be sent through its messenger platform, making it easier to trade items on its Marketplace. Being able to see interested buyers’ profiles on NextDoor and Facebook can also ease your nerves if you’re anxious about meeting strangers from the Internet. You don’t have to exchange your items for cash at home either—most police departments are happy to have you meet buyers in their parking lots.
