We do a little of everything. Some items we save and pass down to younger siblings, cousins or friends. We sell larger reuseable items (tires, furniture) & toys on Craigslist. And for that quick get rid of we donate to the local thrift store.
I use a variety of different methods of getting rid of my clutter, including: ebay, craigslist, freecycle, amazon.com, half.com, personal yard sales, and giving things away to family, friends, Goodwill, and our local no-kill animal shelters annual yard sale event. I try very hard to never throw anything of use in the trash!
I believe that this is what you are speaking of, giving the fact that you received a check prior to even completing work AND the check was of such a large amount. This is consistent with the shopping scams that have victimized many good people trying to earn a few extra dollars doing this work.
If you haven't cashed the check -- DON'T! Contact your local authorities if you don't know what to do.
To get rid of stuff, I do a variety of things: 1) first, give to family and friends who need the stuff, 2) sell at a garage sale, 3) give to Goodwill or other non-profit, 4) give away on Freecycle.org, 5) put out on curb with "free" sign. I don't feel comfortable with Craigslist and no longer like eBay. I am open to trading but haven't found the right opportunity.
I don't want to doubt anyones word, because I don't know to much about this type of job, but i just signed on as a new mystery shopper.
I ffilled out a email on line, last week and on 07/16/2012, I resceived a check in the mail
for $3,445.00.
I was instructed, to deposit in my account and as soon as the check clears, i call them,-
and set up a work scheduale, $250.00 was for 2 hours of my time and the rest was for my personal training and alond with the check that i received, were two forms, that i need to make a copy of and these 2 form's, that i have to copy, is for my report, weren't
like you were saying, where everything has to be down to a T.
i was asked to fill out, if their clothes were nice and neat, or if in uniform, were their clothes, clean and worn properly
I found a pattern that shows how to make an origami gift box using old calendar pages. It's great for small gifts. And I sometimes buy a cloth shopping tote to use as a gift bag.
Generally Craigslist is a good bet. However, that said, Amazon allows trade-ins on specific items (which you can check at their website). Also, my girlfriend just introduced me to Plato's Closet, where you can sell as well as shop for gently used brand-name clothing and accessories. Pretty amazing stuff :)
Creating a monthly budget is wonderful advice. I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan and this was the first thing I learned from his teachings. I think it's the quickest things someone can do to feel like they are in control of their money.
This is so true. A few months ago I had a head full of Ideas for a personal finance blog but no idea how to create one or if anyone would read it.
I got started on a free wordpress.com hosted blog but within days realised I needed to move to my own domain. Again I had no idea how to do this but the steady progress of the blog motivated me to do it. I'm really glad I did as things are going great!
Have confidence and take a leap and you really can accomplish anything!
For my part...I sell most of my stuff on Kijiji..or on my own Facebook.
Sales are good, as I always keep my thing clean ( Because unwanted doesn't necessarily mean broken or unusable ) ...and with the boxes and what not that it came in.
Getting rid of our stuff works best for us by not getting the unnecessary stuff in the first place. We try to buy only things we need to survive.
Otherwise things that we may have and no longer need, we will try and sell on craigslist or ebay. For little items we do like to donate to thrift stores. It's better to give than to receive! It feels good to give and help others who can't afford the same item brand new.
We usually donate our unwanted stuff to the local Kiwanis Club for their thrift store.
Liked on Facebook!!! :)

Hi I usually donate to goodwill or to church. If my funds are low I will then sell at a flea market. I am a website fan!

We sell things on Craigslist, list free items on freecycle.com, and will have a limited yard sale with what's left as we're emptying our house.
I found a pattern that shows how to make an origami gift box using old calendar pages. It's great for small gifts. And I sometimes buy a cloth shopping tote to use as a gift bag.
I sell some items on eBay, but most I give to Goodwill.
if you like toxic chemicals on your food, by all means.
I donate a lot of clothes, but also ebay things to try to recoop some of the money paid out.
I'm a facebook fan!

Good luck with your "stuff"..... :-)

We try to have a garage sale, but we also have taken items to resale shops in our area, and Goodwill or Salvation Army.
unwanted stuff usually just means unwanted by me so I offer first to family, friends and neighbors
if I have time and inclination, resell via craigslist, eBay, amazon
in interest of expediency, it goes to the local thrift shop
awhile back, I started keeping a file of people and places that needed donations of household items, clothing, media -- always comes in handy
Tag sale! It doesn't always work very well. Other than that, Freecycle.org.
