En español | Do you need cash? Do you want to get rid of things? There are applications and online platforms that help you sell the things you no longer want. These reach a broader audience and attract buyers looking for specific items.
Some are fairly new, but have recently opened on the market. Others, like eBay and Craigslist, have been around for a long time. Either way, a few best practices can help you find a buyer and get rid of unwanted items.
That's what Brynn Wren, 68, did when she decided to move in with her sister a few years ago and had to downsize her 2,100-square-foot home to fit two bedrooms.
"I started selling everything I had accumulated over the last six to eight years and kept only what I really needed," says Wren, of Roseville, California. Although necessity initially drove Wren to sell on eBay and Facebook Marketplace, he found that he liked her.
