Trimming some items from your home inventory can benefit you in the long run, and you can make some extra money doing so. By selling or getting rid of items in your home, you are going to make the moving process a lot less stressful.
You are wondering how to price your used furniture? Check out this guide.
These are our top ways to declutter before your move:
Garage Sale
Having a Garage sale is a classic tactic many people and families explore. Build some hype up in your neighbourhood by putting large signs up, run a Facebook ad specific for your neighboorhood and start telling people about it weeks in advance!
Give away
Have you had friends or family over, and they’ve been complimenting a particular piece in your home? Offer it up to them! They may not want it, but that’s ok, there are other options!
If your friend & family deny it, then try the salvation army, thrift stores, consignment stores.
Sell on Facebook Market place Kijiji or Craigslist
Take some high-quality photos of the item you are trying to get rid of then post it on the Facebook market place! Furniture usually trends well, and you should find a buyer within a couple of days.
Similar to the Facebook market place, buyers come to Kijiji or Craigslist looking for used items. We suggest posting on all three platforms so you can broaden your reach.
Use a Junk Removal service
Want to have someone load your unwanted stuff then drive off, and you never need to see it again? Junk removal services tend to range in price from 100 to 700 dollars a load depending on size.
Reverse Birthday Gifts
Do your friends have birthdays coming up? Gift them items from your home you no longer have use for but they might. Best for items you still have the original packaging for. We’ll admit it this way to get rid of stuff is a little odd, but it works!
Cleaning out your un-wanted goods is easier than ever. Our first suggestion is to try the Facebook Marketplace before any of the other options. You will feel great once you see furniture, clothes and other household items move onto someone else. Not to mention getting rid of stuff is easy and cost effective!
