[Anonymous]

trying to think of some stuff i could sell around the house and garage to make some extra money

already have a lot of books i can sell and many golf balls as i don't even golf but have found a lot of them but not sure what else

i also have a gold/diamond ring that i found last year but been holding off as i'm not sure what its worth

its also winter here , like to wait till May to try and sell golf balls as the courses aren't open here yet , i already sell some books online but only smaller ones that i can mail for lower rates

I’d tackle this in three steps:

1. Quick cash items around the house
- Electronics: old phones, tablets, gaming systems, headphones.
- Tools: hand tools, power tools, yard tools.
- Sports/fitness: weights, bikes, camping gear, skateboards.
- Home goods: small appliances, decor, lamps, rugs.
- Clothes/shoes: branded items, jackets, sneakers.

2. Your books and golf balls
- Sell books in lots on Facebook Marketplace or eBay.
- Golf balls: clean, sort by brand/quality, sell in bulk (e. g., “50 mixed Titleist balls”).

3. Gold/diamond ring
- Take it to 2–3 places: a reputable jeweler, a pawn shop, and a gold buyer.
- Ask for: karat of gold, weight, and whether the diamond is real.
- Compare offers; don’t accept the first lowball.
- If it’s nice, you might get more via Facebook Marketplace or consignment than scrap value.

If you tell me your country and whether you’re okay with shipping, I can suggest the best platforms to use.

the diamond is real , it has a makers mark and that maker uses real diamonds , smaller ring so not a lot of gold weight

Canada

usually put the gold balls in egg cartons and sell a large lot of them to 1 buyer

yep, all that.

ultimately, become a broker in something, like real estate, or insurance and sell that too.

a lot of people here already do real estate and the houses aren't selling much like they used to

sell cars. sell something:)! Everything is for sale...
