Furniture, Toys, Large Household Items
Craigslist and Facebook are great for items for which you don’t want to pay shipping. Some people have even had success buying used furniture to refinish and then re-sell on Craigslist.

Clothing
Name brand clothing in very good condition can be sold through eBay but you may find that selling at local consignment stores gives you the best profit because you don’t have to pay for shipping.
Before selling your items consider the value of your time. If your items are only worth a few dollars you may be better off donating them and using your time to make money in a more lucrative way. If you are in desperate need of money, however, it is definitely worth your time to sell some items for quick cash.
