Fast Cash

I love working at home. But sometimes, the income is a little on the light side. I'm certain that the up and down nature of income is why many people stay away from working at home. Of course, over the years I have talked to 100's of people who are about to be laid off or have been laid off so jobs don't seem so great either.

So what is a person to do when cash is low? Particularly when the car breaks down or the holidays are coming (or in my case...both!).

I love eBay and Amazon. I don't know how people ever got along with out them. They are the best ways to make some quick cash. Some people do make a livin using these services but I prefer to use them when I need a few bucks fast.

I like Amazon's program for books, videos, and computer games. Simply input the item's number, a price and a comment and its listed. I have sold stuff within minutes of listing it. Plus, Amazon gives you a shipping credit. Last week I made an extra $100 selling a few books! Who couldn't use a $100?

Then there is eBay. eBay has gotten easier to work with but still requires more involvement than Amazon especially if you want a fancy looking page. But eBay is great for unusual things. I sold my chili pepper wreaths last year! Right now I'm getting ready to list my sons Yu Gi Oh duel disk, a Mary Kay color palette, some sunglasses, and a great internet marketing training program.

If you need a few extra bucks, go through your house and find books you've read but don't want to keep (or those you haven't read and don't plan to read). Collect old videos too and any other items in good condition that you don't use. Name brand clothing, toys, electronics and even obscure items such as chili pepper wreaths are great sells on ebay.

Don't forget, you can find great bargains at these places too that will help you save money for the holidays as well.
