Spring Cleaning Tip: Extra Household Items May Be Worth More Than North Huntingdon Residents Think

Full Description:

Unused items stashed away in the closets and drawers of North Huntingdon residents are likely to be worth considerably more than most owners estimate. Extra household goods such as sporting goods, unused computers and personal electronics can be sold for hundreds of dollars online, including eBay, The World’s Online Marketplace™. Making this process even easier is Jessica Kovach of Cash 4 Clutter, a Jeannette-based eBay Trading Assistant Company, who can manage the process of selling on eBay for local residents. eBay Trading Assistants are registered members on eBay who have demonstrated the ability and expertise to sell items on eBay. According to a 2004 A.C. Nielsen survey commissioned by eBay, the typical American household has about 25 unused, high-value items lying around. These items include sporting goods, electronics, photography equipment, auto parts, computers and hardware, accessories, jewelry, and home improvement products. According to this study, U.S. households like those in North Huntingdon discard three items a year on average, virtually all of them in working order. The items most often thrown out by the households surveyed were handbags, cell phones, televisions, and desktop computers. “After taking inventory of extra or unused household items, residents can list the items they intend to discard on eBay where they often find a high demand among collectors, businesses, and individuals looking for products to use, repair or acquire for spare parts,” said Kovach. To list and sell an item on eBay, residents or businesses only need to contact Jessica at 724-433-1173 or via email at cashclutter@yahoo.com and she will do the work. Residents bring the items to their location on Route 30 and as a Trading Assistant, Jessica will photograph the product, create the eBay listing to sell the item, contact the highest bidder, package and ship the item, collect the payment and send the money to the item’s owner, less any fees charged by the Trading Assistant. “When they prepare for spring cleaning, people in North Huntingdon should realize they are likely to be able to sell these unwanted items on eBay for considerably more than they would receive from a garage sale or donations,” said Kovach. eBay Trading Assistants are independent sellers, not employees or contractors of eBay Inc.
