iSold It's eBay Experts Make Spring Cleaning Easy

If you discover items of some value in your house that you no longer need, you're not alone. Millions of homeowners realize this either when they're getting ready to move or at the start of spring cleaning. In the past, clearing out homes only resulted in low-revenue garage sales or multiple trips to the thrift store. But today, the latest trend in home organization is to trade in and trade up by clearing out and cashing in unwanted items by dropping them off at iSold It, the world's leading chain of eBay drop-off stores. Organizational expert Peter Walsh, from TLC's television show "Clean Sweep," confirms the trend. "eBay drop-off stores like iSold It are really the hot new trend in home organization," he notes. "For occasions such as that yearly cleaning, they provide an easy way for you to get that clutter out of your house and earn some extra cash." According to a recent PEW Internet and American Life Project survey, 83 percent of online American adults have never tried to sell items online. For those people, eBay drop-off stores like iSold It offer a fast and easy way to sell online. iSold It's eBay experts professionally photograph your item, write descriptive copy, list the item online, collect payment and then pack and ship the item. Once the transaction is complete, the seller receives a check in the mail. Reactions to the iSold It concept have consistently been positive -- even effusive: "I was determined to clean out my garage � I had old car parts, a vintage train set, you name it," said Bernie Dodyk, Novi, Michigan customer. "I took the whole lot to a drop-off store and made over $5,000. Now I can park my car in the garage again." Selling on eBay no longer needs to be a daunting and time consuming task. iSold It's eBay experts note that items that sell well on eBay can be found in all areas of the home, including garages (vehicle parts, sports equipment and power tools); living rooms (decorative collectibles, audio/visual equipment, cameras and video recorders, and musical instruments); bedrooms and closets (designer shoes, watches and jewelry); and kitchens (crystal, sterling silver, high-end cookware and appliances.)
