As the holiday season approaches, many Ohioans are looking for ways to make extra money. Luckily, there are a number of opportunities available, some of which require little or no effort. Sound too good to be true? It’s not! Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Declutter and Sell Unwanted Items
Selling unwanted items has never been easier thanks to online shopping. Around the holidays, people are looking for bargains anywhere they can find them, so hosting a seasonal online sale, or even having a pre-holiday garage sale is a great way to quickly make some extra cash.
If you choose to sell online, maximize the likelihood you make a sale by posting across social channels and apps. If you do a garage sale, consider inviting your neighbors to join and have a block-wide garage sale. The larger the sale, the greater the number of people that visit.
Sell Pallets for Cash
While perusing your unwanted items, don’t forget to look at the tools and materials you’re using to store them, too! If you have pallets that you no longer need, selling them for cash is a worthwhile option. When it’s time to sell pallets for cash, start with a thorough inspection and assessment of the pallet’s condition. From there, establish an achievable selling price based on the pallet’s current state; factors like age, size and weight all come into play here. Connecting with buyers near you (like local pallet producers – many will buy back their own as well as pallets made by others) can yield maximum return quickly and safely as well.
There are typically several ways in which you can collect pallets to sell for cash to a company, like:
-
Collecting from local businesses
-
Canvassing your neighborhood to gather unused pallets
-
Auditing a commercial and temporary constructions sites (like a warehouse that is overstocked or a home build/renovation)
Whether local or long-distance traveling is needed for delivery or pick-up visits should be scheduled in advance. If you’re able to deliver the pallets yourself, great! That’ll make things easier for you. If not, check with your pallet buyer to see if they offer spot trailers. This means they’ll bring a trailer to you that you can load and have picked up once you’re finished.
