There is a group that I belong to on Facebook called "Kiddie Corner". It's basically a place to sell things that your kids have out grown and a place to find things your kids may want at a fraction of the cost. Most of the stuff is gently used and the price is usually negotiable.
I have listed several things that my kids have out grown and have been able to sell pretty much everything. It's been a few bucks here and there but has been an easy and fun way to make some extra cash. I would rather donate the stuff to someone I know who will need it but If I don't have anyone in mind making a few bucks to get rid of clutter is my kind of thing.
I also decided that since I'm mainly selling the kids stuff that I would use that money to "upgrade" their room. I gave away Samuel's baby Jungle theme room decor to a friend from Church and the room looked pretty bare.
So far I have gotten; a gorgeous desk, laundry basket, wall hanging and plastic bookcase w/toy box storage for the play room. Not bad! Even our Kinect for XBOX broke and I was able to purchase one off Kiddie Corner for about $50. That beats the $80 fee from Microsoft to fix ours.
Anyway I am excited because the next thing on my list is new bedding for both of the kids beds. I have a few sales pending and hoping to be able to get them their new bedding before the actual cold months begin.
It's the little things that make me happy. Sorting and saving though that's my kind of thing.
