Recognize Scammers
You might think that scammers only show up when it comes to high-dollar transactions, but it’s best to be on the lookout no matter what you’re selling.
For example, Craiglist has a list of things to watch out for such as people who want to route payments though a third party, only offer money orders or cashier’s checks. If they alsor efuse to meet in person, that’s a red flag.
Always be wary of people who contact you online and stay safe!
Donate Leftovers
If you’re going to itemize deductions anyway come tax season, donating is a great way to get a tax write-off. Also, it’s less time consuming than selling individual items.
Look for legitimate 501(c)3 nonprofits, don’t inflate an item’s value and keep recepits and the IRS should have no problems with you- nor you with them! If you’re looking for a good valuation guude, check out the one from Salvation Army!
