If you need some extra cash, you can take a look at the list of 8 things that we usually throw away, but could make money with. Many of these things are so common that you would never think that anyone would want to buy them. However, a quick look at eBay shows that there are buyers galore.
That is a list of 8 things we usually throw away, but they could be sold. In addition to earning some extra cash, we also slightly reduce the amount of waste.
Empty boxes
Empty boxes of shoes, phones, computers and toys often end up in the trash can or roll around in some dusty basement. A little browsing on the internet shows that well-preserved boxes are quite a desirable product. Let's say empty iPhone case is sold on eBay for slightly less than 10 euros.
Posters, tickets, covers, postcards
Movie posters, concert tickets and covers of various records or books can represent valuable collector's item. How much you can earn for such an item of course depends on how old and rare it is.
Products that are no longer on sale
Discontinued products often leave behind a bunch of sad fans who aren't entirely satisfied with the rest of the similar products on the market. Such things can be sold very quickly online at a slightly increased price. Especially they sell well cosmetic products that can no longer be purchased in stores.
Empty paper towel rolls
Empty rolls of paper towels can be sold online for slightly more than 10 euros per 100 rollsc. And who buys it? Various artists and makers.
Old perfumes
Did you find an old perfume in your grandmother's closet? Old perfumes are often more desirable than new ones. Original Chanel Nº5 from the 70s is worth about 130 euros online.
Electronics
Old cassettes, VCRs, broken iPods and cables are pretty much useless stuff for most people. Those who are familiar with electronics can use these things for many things. Instead of taking them to the dump, publish online, you might still earn something.
Vintage sports shoes
Old sports shoes can be a surprisingly sought-after product. Original vintage Chuck Taylor Converse shoes from the 70s even reach a price of 1000 euros!
Toys
Collectors are willing to pay a considerable sum in exchange for a rare toy. Browse through old teddy bears and barbies. Before throwing them in the bin, find out how much they are worth. Let's say an old PEZ toy candy storage from 1982 was recently sold for around €30,000!
