Do you have an attic or garage filled with items that you no longer use? Welcome to my world. I tend to hoard items and keep them even when I don’t need them. I moved to a new house last year and thought I did a pretty good job of getting rid of items that had been stored in the attics and closets for years that I no longer wanted. However, I keep discovering items that I overlooked or wasn’t ready to part with at the time.
I was watching television recently and saw a segment on a news program about a woman who was using an app on her phone to sell some of the clutter in her home. She made some extra money selling items she no longer needed. The app that I’m talking about is called VarageSale. It’s a virtual garage sale app that is so easy to use. You can list items that you’d like to sell and your neighbors can purchase them. You can watch my video about the app HERE.
Interesting facts about VarageSale:
- VarageSale is like a virtual garage sale on your phone.
- It’s a free marketplace app that allows families to buy and sell pre-loved items with their neighbors.
- 90% of their members are women.
- They also have a huge user base of moms who use this platform to sell and buy kids’ stuff.
- They have also seen a rise in mom entrepreneur selling their crafts on the app as well.

The VarageSale app uses Facebook to get your bio when you sign up. This helps to ease your mind about the people who may be wanting to purchase from you. You’ll know who the buyers are, where they’re from and if you have mutual friends.
The VarageSale app is available on both Apple and Android devices. Here’s what you do:
- Simply download the version that is appropriate for your phone.
- Sign up to get an account. Once a community administrator approves your account, you’re ready to sell.
- Take pictures of the items you’d like to sell along with your listing price.
- Reply when someone inquires on your items.
- Set up a place and time to meet for the transaction.
For more information you can go to the VarageSale website.

What Am I Reading? – May 2014

Hmmm, interesting! I have a chandelier that I tried to sell at a garage sale in our neighborhood several years ago, but no one would pay the measly $25 I was charging for a fixture that cost me over $250. I like the fact that you meet up for the exchange. I will look into this app!

I think people are looking for serious bargains at garage sales. It’s a game to work the price down. Hopefully using this app will take some of that aspect away. We’ll see… Thanks for stopping by Allison! Stacie xo

I will check it out. I have so many baby clothes with tags on from when my daughter was born.
You should definitely try this. I saw tons of baby and children’s clothing on the site for my area. Stacie xo

What a briliant idea! Certainly beats putting them on eBay for months, paying fees, and no one ever bids.

I”m trying it out to see what I can sell so I can clear out the clutter. I also love that it’s local so I don’t have to ship items like ebay and those types of auction sites. Stacie xo

I’ve been on a clear out of stuff lately, it feels so good! I sold some clothes to Thred Up and will give the rest to charity. I sold some books through Amazon and made $100! I am planning to move in a few months, so hopefully will do another clear out, and might try to sell some random nickknacks I don’t need.
Wow, that’s great that you’re decluttering and able to make back some of the money that you spent. I need to sort through a bunch of my old purses that I know I’ll never use again but are in perfect condition. Good luck with your move! Stacie xo
