<prompt> Human: I, like most people, have been holding onto a collection of random items Ive purchased over the last few years, that Ive been meaning to sell, but have really just ended up collecting dust. I suppose I was just too lazy to take the pictures, make an Ebay account and set up a new Paypal, but it really only took a matter of minutes to list 5 items I had lying around. I listed these items at a price a little below other similar items, and expected them to take a few weeks to sell. Today, I checked my e-mail and found that 3 items sold, and I now had an extra 500 sitting in my Paypal account. Im now trying to find other stuff I no longer wantneeduse, so that I can list it too and make more money. By my calculations, I have another 1,000 in random electronics lying around and probably a few hundred to a thousand dollars worth of other random stuff, that other people might need. So, moral of the story: Dont be afraid to sell some old stuff. If youre no longer in need of it, wouldnt you prefer some cash instead of a paperweight?  <response>: Yep. I made about 500 in a couple of days last summer selling two saddles that I no longer use and had been sitting in my house for years. I sold them for below their worth because it didnt really matter to me. They werent doing anything but taking up space. I have some more tack and equipment that I will list this summer. Theres no reason for it to take up space in my house when someone else could put it to good use. And I can always use a few extra hundred bucks!Last summer was my first time using eBay or PayPal, and it was easy as pie.
