Get Paid when Downsizing

If you have items you need to downsize you only have a few logical choices:
- Give items to family members or friends (if they even want them)
- Donate items (if the charity will haul the items away)
- Trash items (if your trash service will pick up items left on the curb)
- Having a Garage Sale (taking time to price items, dealing with weather and public, moving items in and out of your garage, posting signs, etc.; just for a small return)
- Having an In-Home Estate Sale, by giving someone the right to price items, having traffic in and out of your home, commitment to a guaranteed revenue to the company doing the sale, deep discounts as needed, no guarantee on sales, etc.)
- Sell in a consignment store, earning about 50% of the sales price (after you transport items to the store if they will accept them, as well as giving the store the right to control pricing & dispose of your items when they don't sell)
- Sell in an antique store (paying rent each month, a sales commission, and often having to work at the store as a condition of being a dealer)
- Sell on Craigslist, Letgo, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace or other local online venues (dealing with calls, having to negotiate a price, taking a security risk of having strangers meet at your home, marketing the items, selling one item at a time, etc.)
- Sell on eBay (paying a fee & sales commission, having to package and ship items, paying credit card fees, taking photos & posting your sale)
