Ok...so I'm normally not a fan of the statement "quick and easy money" because so many scam artists like to use those terms and rip people off, but there are a few exceptions. So, I'm going to discuss a very simple method of earning money online that almost anyone can do. No, you are not going to make a million dollars, but you can make a few extra bucks.
So, what is the method?
Sell your stuff on Craigslist!
We all have extra stuff lying around ourl homes that we are not using. In fact, some people have rooms full of junk that just sits there. Recently, I used Craigslist to unload a few things I didn't need, and as a result, not only was I able to free up some space in my apartment, but I was also able to earn some money in the process. Here are a couple of things I sold:
- a love seat
- a digital tv converter box
- a weight bench
Another thing you can do, expecially if you have something that might be valuable, is sell stuff on eBay. Collectors items are great. Here are a few examples of items that sell on eBay:
- used records
- comic books
- old cell phones
- vintage computers
- Hotwheels
Really, this is just the tip of the iceburg - you might have a goldmine of junk that is just sitting there collecting dust - why not sell it and make some money from it?
If you want to know whether or not something will sell on eBay, make sure to do a Completed Listing Search - anything that shows up with a green price will be an item that sold, but anything that shows up with a red price tag is an item that did not sell.
So, there you have it. That's my plan to help you make some quick and easy money - and its yours free, including resale rights!

We're not fans of garage sales so this is how we 'liquidate' our stuff. Good idea

Make sure to delete your ads after the item has sold!

Yes, Craigslist has helped me and my family make a little extra money during these tough times.
To add a couple of extras to your post:
1. Take a least 2 pictures of the items to be sold.
2. Copy and paste the same ad into kijiji and backpage. You'll get responses from those ad sites as well.
So far I've sold:
Yamaha scooter, 32" tv and stereo equipment.
Craigslist is pretty useless when it comes to looking for employment, too many scam artists.

Yeah, it is an easy way to make money online and this is dependent on you having something to sell. I guess this one is for those who already have more than enough to shed.
