One of the best ways to make some money is to clean out the right junk or items in your house. To ensure that you don’t waste your time, you have to focus on selling items that are in demand.
So, below are some garage sales items that will make you the most profit. Let’s begin.
1. Small appliances
You can get good returns from things like toasters, blenders, and mixers. You can even put your Car and Truck Accessories for Sale. Like other items that make this list, they are enticing to buyers since buying new ones can be very pricey. Additionally, these appliances are quite easy to transport home.
2. Clothes
When garage sales are ongoing, clothes are one of the most sought-after and biggest finds. You might not have many individual pieces, but when you sell multiple items, it adds up. You can consider pairing them up like leggings and shorts for a price. This will help you move your merchandise faster.
3. Toys
As your kids grow, their interest in many things changes. So, you can remove your old toys from their playroom and sell them. Make sure to pick those still in good condition. Additionally, ensure things like Lego and puzzles have all their pieces.
4. Crafting supplies
There might be a time, you had a crafting hobby, but it didn’t work out well. Or you might have been overwhelmed with scrapbooking supplies, yarn, and fabrics. So pick out those crafting items, and put them up for sale. Selling your old items will allow you to use the money you make to get new supplies.
5. Bar Stools
New homes and kitchen renovations now include counter space for bar stools. So, you might have retro bar stools that have been in your basement for years or even newer stools that you want to get rid of. So, pick those times and sell them for some extra cash.
6. Records
Vinyl records are coming back as music fans are making demand for them. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, in 2021, $1 billion worth of vinyl records was sold, and this made it the best year for vinyl since 1986.
Many collectors are searching for old vinyl records, and garage sales are a great place to sell your old vinyl that you no longer want.
7. Electronics
People can bargain for old electronics like tablets, smartphones, and computers. But, you must ensure that the items you’re selling do not retain your personal information as this might put you at risk. So, perform a factory reset for your items, remove your sim cards from the phones and also disconnect your online accounts from the items.
8. Books
Clean your bookshelves and sell those unread books to potential readers. You can get a relatively high price for book sales. Readers may want to grab many at once for their collection. If you can’t sell them off, try a donation to your local library.
Final Words
A good place to add some extra cash to your savings is garage sales. But, you shouldn’t expect every item to attain massive success. So, you have to think about what you would do with the items that you couldn’t sell. You can send them to charities close to you or you could post them online or give them away for free.

It seems like clothing never moves where I am at. The electronics and appliances move great though.
Those are great ones that do seem to move well.
I haven’t had a garage sale in a very long time. I usually don’t have enough stuff to sell so I just trash or donate depending on condition and item.
I love having garage sales. I usually combine them with family or friends.
