Of all of the ways to make money from home, selling on eBay might be the easiest to start.
Even if you have no intention of making a long term commitment to selling on eBay, selling off unwanted items is an excellent way to make money for financing the business you would like to get started.
Many people decide to have garage sales when they have accumulated too much clutter around their house.
For many items, that is the best alternative, but if you take a few minutes to check what is selling on eBay, you may have second thoughts about what you are practically giving away.
I have personally sold many garage sale purchases that cost less than five dollars for amounts exceeding one hundred dollars.
The thing you must remember is that one man's trash truly can be another man's treasure.
A perfect example of this is old concert t-shirts.
Many people who went to concerts in the 1970's or 1980's bought a shirt at every event.
Over the years those shirts began to show wear and maybe, as the person grew older, they did not feel the same sense of pride when they wore their Iron Maiden or Rolling Stones gear.
Often those shirts got sent along to the Salvation Army or turned into dust rags.
If you look on eBay now though, you will see that some people held on to that old memorabilia and are turning a nice profit selling off their shirt collections.
Prices for old, ragged concert shirts from the '70s and '80s routinely go into the hundreds of dollars now.
The list of unusual collectibles goes on and on.
