Before making the plunge into selling your crafts, be sure to take the time and do some research beforehand. If you choose to sell locally, try finding a store that will sell your items on consignment or sign up to exhibit at a local craft show. If you choose to go the consignment route, be sure to get all terms in writing.

Before you jump on a seeming bargain, based on research you did in the past, check out the current market for the object. Research your object to find the best way to store it so it stays in great condition. I didn’t do my research before wrapping those dollars in plastic. Store collections properly.

But beware, people want to pay yard sale prices at a yard sale, so if you have more time, you could make more by selling larger or more valuable items on Craigslist, local consignment shops, or a local Facebook buy/sell page. How Much Should You Charge?

It's been awhile since I've taken a tax deduction over having a yard sale, so I did a little research. You should claim as the value the price that buyers of used items actually pay in used clothing stores, such as consignment or thrift shops.". Unfortunately not everything in your home is considered a tax deduction if donated.

Research the store’s return policy for unused purchases without a receipt if you don’t have it. Not sure if online consignment shopping is right for you, use my referral link for a store credit for first time thredUP shoppers to try it out. Instead of letting stuff languish unused and eventually given away, return it!
