Finding Cash In Your Closet

Posted by Jean

Who doesn’t want some extra cash? Whether you inherited your grandmother’s jewelry or no longer have a use for your designer suits, you can make money by selling things in your own closet. This morning on TODAY, I shared the stories of two women who were able to sell some of their clothes and jewelry — and also provided some tips on how to make sure you get the most out of what you have to offer. Watch the clip below!

    I started a wedding gown re-sale ring for brides and brides to be worldwide. The site allows former brides to sell high end wedding gowns they have splurged on to brides looking for a high end couture gown at a reduced price. Abigail Ava Wedding is run by women for women. If you have a wedding gown from 2000 to 2010 taking up space in your closet it could potentially be worth anywhere from $100 to $10,000! We would love to help women make money and help women find their dream gowns at low prices!

    Many of my clients can open their own consignment shops with the contents of their closets and homes! All you have to do is get over any emotional attachments you have and just realize that it’s just “stuff.”

    There’s a feng shui to this too – with the benefit of some extra cash!
