Step 1
Go through all of your items and sort them into piles. You want to sort them into piles so it is easier to go through them and determine whether or not it is in a sellable condition. Clean old tools and appliances that have been put away, because you have purchased new ones, or no longer use the item. You want to make the item appealing to a potential buyer. You never know exactly what you have that someone else may want or have been looking for. So clean and prepare every item that you find while clearing away your clutter.

Step 2
Place an add in your local newspaper informing everyone that you are having a rummage sale. Give flyers to neighbors and friends so they to can purchase items from your rummage sale. Go on the internet and place advertisement on Craigslist.com or other local sites.

Step 3
If you are not looking to have one on one interactions with your buyers. Categorize all of your items and determine a price. After you have priced out your clutter, log on to the internet and create an Ebay account. Place your items on Ebay for other people around the world to see. You can place your items as an auction or a straight out price. You want to sell your clutter quickly, so make the advertisement appealing to the buyer. Offer free shipping, or discounts if purchasing more than one item from you. If you have a hard time deciding the price and want to get rid of your items quickly, sell your items in bulk. You will find that your clutter can get you cash. Start Cleaning Today...
