How To Get Rid Of Clutter
Here is one way of motivating you to get rid of your clutter. Think of your clutter as a potential money maker. Here are some suggestions from professional organizers about how to get rid of clutter:
Get an online appraisal - According to Cynthia Townley Ewer, author of Houseworks: Cut the Clutter, Speed Your Cleaning and Calm the Chaos, “If you think your item is worth something, the best way to get a reality check is on eBay.” Go online and see if you can find similar items to yours and see if there are even any listings. Checking eBay is quick, cheap and easy. If your item isn’t worth anything, you may not feel so bad about throwing or giving it away.
Hire an appraiser – Hire a local appraiser to check out your item. Appraisers typically charge 75.00 or more; find one at appraisers.org.
Use a middleman - If you don’t want to bother with eBay or craigslist.org, you can drop off your stuff at a consignment or resale shop. Nowadays there are even franchise operations where you can take your junk such as iSold It (i-soldit.com). You could also try Auction it Today (auctionittoday.com). Commissions typically run 30 to 40 percent.
Donate to charity – This is the easiest option and you may get a tax write off. TurboTax offers a free online software which tells you what the fair market value of your item is for tax deduction purposes (itsdeductible.com).
