We adjusted our
clocks for daylight savings time this past weekend. We had a couple of much
needed rain falls and we are getting ready for a productive spring. Time to do
some spring cleaning around the house and perhaps start planning a nice summer
vacation. But how can we afford it?
According to a
recent survey conducted on social media by Applied Marketing Strategies, the
average American Family has about $5,000 dollars in tools, equipment and toys
in their garages and storage units. During spring cleaning we think about selling
things that we don’t use in a garage sale or eBay. The drawback, letting an
item go for pennies on the dollar. Families either keep their items one more
year or lose precious cash in a quick sale.
Nothing throws
cold water on a productive spring-cleaning mood faster than realizing that
selling used items is not the most effective way to clear space in their
garage. Once items are sold, they are gone and so is the money spent when you bought
them new. So remember these important tips to ensure your spring cleaning is
productive and profitable:
1.
Never sell tools – Your neighbors are building, fixing or
starting a new project right now. That reciprocating saw that you don’t use and
you paid $200 for could be rented for $50 per day. You only need to rent it four
times to recuperate your investment and you still have it in case you need it. Remember
if you sell it in a garage sale you are probably are only going to get
$50 for it and never see it again.
2.
Toys are great money makers – From the battery operated
go-kart you bought for your 4 year-old, the jet ski you used twice, to the RV
parked in your back yard, people around you are always looking for
those. Clean them, check to make sure they are in safe working conditions and
list them for rent. Who knows, perhaps in 5 years once your kids are in college
you feel like going back to the lake and give that jet ski another shot. You
will have the money to do it too.
3.
Cameras and electronic
equipment are big money makers. Digital cameras are the new trend, and people are also looking for
the old-fashioned 35mm cameras to shoot a project on film. You would be
surprised at how many people have old VHS tapes and are looking for a VCR to
see them again. And, it may come as a surprise to many, but vinyl record
players are in, again. Get your old electronic equipment ready and list it for
rent. You will be making money now and keep your equipment for as long as you
can.
4.
Anything you bought for more than $100, stays – Depreciation applies to almost
everything we buy. Once the package is opened and the item is used, even if you
use it only once, its value goes down faster than you can blink. There are
millions of people around you that are looking for that same item and only need
it temporarily. Clean it, test it and get it ready to be shared with your
neighbors for a profit. Take advantage of the Sharing Economy.
5.
Create your own rental
business –
Look around you. You will see rented stuff everywhere. Tools, tables, chairs,
cameras, RVs, equipment, jet skies, snow skies. You can become a rent-lord and
have your own rental business with the stuff you already own and don’t use
often. Rntus.com provides you with an internet platform to easily list your
items for rent. The listings are free so you have nothing to lose and
everything to gain. If you rent an item, Rntus.com keeps a small percentage as a
processing fee. What are you waiting for? Become a Rent-lord and start making
money today, tomorrow, again and again.
