subject: Selling Items to Raise Funds [print this page] If you need to raise dollars and youre not sure what to sell, simply take an inventory of what you have in your home. Look around and ask yourself what you dont need or use anymore. You must be strict with this. If youre teetering with a decision, sell it. Some popular things that sell would online are fine china, jewelry, and sporting equipment. Items that dont sell well are clothes and used computer equipment. Focus on the former. If you view any antiques in your attic or basement, get them appraised before selling.
