8 Things to Do with
Spare and Leftover Items

Here are 8 ways to use the items in your closets, attic, basement, storage areas, etc. and what you didn't sell the last time:

1. Have another garage sale(s) or auction(s) and try other venues

2. Piggyback on someone else's sale (private, online, retail, resellers, flea markets, etc.)

3. Swap, exchange and barter with friends, businesses, relatives, neighbors, associates, etc.

4. Turn lemons into lemonade. Look for creative and innovative ways to use or present leftovers: mix & match, restore, repair and refinish

5. Start using these under-appreciated gems. Why buy new stuff?

6. Give suitable items as gifts, perks and incentives

7. Donate remaining items to worthy causes (a possible tax deduction/credit)

8. Never give up! Keep trying to sell.

If at first you don't succeed. . .try, try again. . .

Don't be afraid to experiment. Develop creative ideas of your own to do some spring cleaning. Remember anything is better than being stuck with a bunch of unwanted junk.
