I just took some children's clothing to a local child to child resale boutique and walked away with $51.50. I may have earned more by listing items individually on ebay or Craig's list or having a garage sale but then I'd have to deal with the individual transactions or the hassle of the garage sale. As it stands, I have the cash and don't have to think about it any more.
However, whenever I sell something I look around my house and wonder what else I can sell. It even gets my 8 year old in the mood to earn some money by selling his toys... although his prices aren't all that realistic. No, I don't think someone will buy that Hotwheels car for $5. This weekend I will challenge my kids to pick out 5 items they can sell. It won't make a dent in the overflowing toy bins but maybe it will get them in the selling mode.
