This could be a great source of income but be honest, make sure the item is in best possible condition. This could be a lot of work so make sure you have the time to prepare the items before you resell.
a. Separate the piles into categories
b. Research for items online to see how much you can get for the item.
c. Take quality photos with white background
d. Note its actual condition
e. Use descriptive headlines and provide details about the item, including shipping.
f. Follow the guidelines and terms of service provided by the online service
