How to Make Money Cleaning out a Garage
The garage, like the basement, has become the modern-day refuge for all of our junk; we don't know where to put it, we don't really want it, but we can't throw it away, so we stash it in a big pile next to the car. Eventually you can't even park your car in the garage, and you'll have to clean it out. However, next to all the junk and the old boxes, there might be a few hidden treasures that can net you a few bucks.

Pull out everything that's actually trash out of what's remaining--old boxes, bags, items that are cracked or completely broken. Throw these things away.

Take pictures of all of these items, and load the pictures onto your computer.
