If you need some extra pocket cash on campus, this article is for you. In this article I will be sharing with you my tips and advice on how to earn some extra income on campus selling used goods!
I will break this article down into sections so you can refer to your desired section for ease of use. The sections will be the following;

1. Why should you get involved in the used goods market?
2. What items should you sell?
3. Where to sell the items you have?

Why should you get involved in the used goods market?

Used goods more often than not are unwanted items that people want to sell to use the money for their life. A large portion of people think used items are always unwanted junk that no one would want, but as the saying goes "one man's rubbish, is another man's treasure" and this is more than true in the used goods markets.
You can make a living off of selling items that were purchased from others at a lower price than the market values them at and resell them for a profit, pretty simple rules of economics; buy low sell high, buy when others are selling, sell when others are buying.

What items should you sell?

A lot of people would like to know how to make money selling used item but don't know what to sell. Don't let this hinder you from getting stuck in! I will list some of the items that you can pick up for a good price and make a good profit on.

1. Electronics – Do you have old electronics? Then sell your old smart phones, tablets, laptops, and computers.

2. Clothing - Clothing is something you can pick up for next to nothing! Look for good quality clothes, sporting shirts, shoes and customize shirts or even you can sell your outgrown clothing or styles that you no longer wear. Also, you can pick up clothing in bulk and resell them as single items for a good profit.

3. Jewelry - Do you have used jewelries or you hand-make gorgeous jewelry? Then sell your handmade jewelry, accessories, and handbags.

4. Books - Do you have old used books? You can sell them to earn more cash.

5. Art - [/b]Do you love to paint or draw? Do you have graphic design skills? Then use your talents and sell your designs.
There are many used items you can sell. These are just to mention few.

Tips on how to add value to your items in order to attract sales

If you manage to get an item to sell then you can add some value to it! I will list some things you can do to increase your items value.

1. Pictures - If you are selling your items online make sure you take the best quality pictures that you can, use backgrounds that enhance detail on a particular item, no shadows in pictures, no bright reflections, no watermark etc. Take multiple pictures if you can to highlight any damage or unique features.

2. Descriptions - This can make or break a sale. Give the best possible description of the item you are selling. Research what you are selling to the point where you know everything there is easy to understand. There is nothing more awkward than buying an item from someone that doesn't know what it worth or even what the item is used for.

3. Clean your items - Clean your clothes, clean your electronics, watch your jewelry, dust your books etc. Just think, would you buy an item that’s dirty and looked neglected? Try to improve an items appearance as best you can. If you have an item that is worth a lot of money take it to someone who could possibly restore the item to add value.

4. Research - Research, research and research. You need to know the market for the items you are selling to make a profit. You could easily slip up and sell an item for far less than its actual value.

5. Promote your ad - Promoted ads get up to 10 times more views.
More views = more interested buyers. With lots of interested buyers on schoolmart.com.ng, you have a better chance of selling fast for the price that you want.

All in all, if you don’t use it, why shouldn’t you make a little money on it? Selling your used items you’re not using is a great way to clear out your storage areas and even make some cash! take the advantage today. Dust your used items and sell them online today.
