Thinking of how are you going to make some extra money fast? Do you have lots of stuff at home that you just want to get rid off? Ever want to sell but have no time to have a garage sale or ask each of your friends who are interested in buying?
There are times that we need instant cash to pay our bills. And looking for a side job could sometimes take time before getting hired or approved. Selling, on the other hand, is one way to earn money within days.
Here’s a list of unique apps that you might find an easy and convenient way to sell your stuff while earning some extra cash.
Especially if you have lots of stuff that you want to get rid of that is worth selling. The following apps will help you decide where you can sell your items without leaving the comfort of your home. Just download it and your ready.
Carousell– You might have seen this app from the news feed ads of your FB or Instagram account. It’s quite new but a lot of people are actually enjoying this new app.This is one convenient way to sell your unwanted stuff. You can sell anything you can think of. All it takes is just a few photos and post a listing within less than a minute and you’re done.
Just to clear things out, Carousell won’t let you pay within the app, what they do is that they let buyers and sellers negotiate and talk about how payment and receiving can be made. So if both parties decided to meet up that’s fine or to pay through paypal and etc. This app is available in both IOS and Android.
to start selling you just need to make a listing and provide some snaps of the item you want to sell and post the price. anyone whose within the area can see your listing and can communicate with you easily. Available in both IOS and Android.
Gone– Here’s another app where you can earn cash by selling your unwanted stuff. This app works a bit different from the previous two. This app accepts mostly electronic gadgets and appliances.
When you have unwanted gadgets or appliances around you just need to take some photos or record a video of the item then Gone will decide if your item can be sold. Then they will make a price to offer to you if you accept it you will need to follow some simple instructions on how they will get the item from you.
They will automatically list and look for a buyer for you at no cost. This is very convenient. You don’t need to worry about how to sell it. This is available on IOS and Android
They don’t offer shipping options like other selling apps. They would let buyers and sellers message each other and arrange their transactions, locations of the items are shown so that people can easily check items within their area. This App is available in both Android and IOS.
Letgo– this is another popular selling app that would let you check items within your area. This app is available both in IOS and Android. Like most of the selling apps in this list, They also encourage buyers and sellers to message and transact in person rather tthanjust shipping the items.
But what I like about this app is that it would let you make a video to advertise your item in a fun way. It also has the option to connect your facebook account so that it would be easy for the app to verify the account, making it safer for both buyers and sellers.
