If you want to help but don't have the money, or have extra things filling your house, garage or in storage then this project is for you.
Practice a bit of Feng Shui; re-energize your life by clearing out the inessential. We invite you to take a look around your home and see if you find things that you are not using any longer; old skis, jewellery, electrical items, etc. You could sell them and raise money for Open Centre, rather than them taking up space in your home. Also you can sell new things you have made or bought through e-Bay.
Instead of having a garage sale and practically giving things away, we invite you to use your account at e-Bay, an on-line auction house. To set up an e-Bay account follow the instructions below.
You can even send in a donation for all the money you are saving in storage costs ! ! !
Tips for selling
You can sell anything, but remember that especially old things that are not collectible should be cheap to ship.
Small things sell well and are less to ship, if something is very large, buyers will need to live locally in order to pick it up.
If you start a item with a low minimum bid then bidding will start sooner.
Be aware that e-Bay is safe and well monitored. Use a Paypal account, or other intermediary paying service, so no one knows your bank details.
Clearing out your house of clutter can be addictive. Let us know what you sold and how much it sold for, and how you're feeling in your new life, by filling out the form below.
