26 Things to Sell Around Your House for Fast Cash (2026)

Need some quick cash? You might not have to look any further than your own home. Most of us have closets full of forgotten gear, outgrown kids’ stuff, and gadgets we never use — and all of it can turn into real money in a weekend.

Below are 26 of the best things to sell, broken down by category so you can find your fastest wins.

Where to Sell Your Stuff in 2026

Before we get started, here’s a quick rundown of where to list:

• Facebook Marketplace — Best for large or heavy items like furniture and appliances. Local pickup sales have zero seller fees, so you keep every dollar.
• Poshmark — Great for clothing, shoes, and handbags. Simple flat-fee structure.
• ThredUp — Send a bag of clothes and they handle the rest. Easy, but payouts are lower.
• eBay — Best for collectibles, brand-name items, and anything with a national market.
• OfferUp — Good local alternative to Facebook Marketplace, especially for electronics and furniture.

Kids’ Stuff

Kids outgrow things fast — which means there’s almost always a pile of perfectly good items just waiting to be sold.

1. Outgrown Clothing

Baby and toddler clothes barely get worn before kids grow out of them. Bundle items by size and gender to make listings more appealing and sell faster. Poshmark and ThredUp both work well here, or try a local Facebook group.

2. Baby Gear

High chairs, bouncers, portable cribs, and swings are expensive new — so parents are always hunting for deals on secondhand. Clean everything up, include the manual if you have it, and list on Facebook Marketplace.

3. Strollers & Car Seats

A gently used stroller in good shape can sell for $50–$200+ depending on the brand. A note about car seats: Only sell them if they are well within the expiration date and have never been in an accident.

4. Toys & Games

LEGOs, play kitchens, board games, outdoor toys — parents are always looking for deals. Complete sets in good condition sell well. Disney Infinity figures, for example, can fetch $10–$50 per character on eBay.

5. Baby Books & Learning Materials

Sets of board books and early learning materials can be bundled and sold locally or on eBay for a quick $10–$30.

Clothing & Accessories

6. Women’s Clothing

Brand-name or higher-end pieces do well on Poshmark. Even everyday clothes in good condition sell if you price them right. You may even have things in the closet with the tags still on them!

7. Shoes

Running shoes from name brands, boots, and heels in good condition sell well. Clean them up before photographing — it makes a big difference.

8. Handbags & Purses

Designer bags can bring serious money. Even everyday bags in good shape sell on Poshmark and eBay. Check recently sold listings to price yours competitively.

9. Jewelry

Gold, silver, and diamond jewelry can be sold to a local jeweler or gold buyer for fast cash. For costume jewelry, eBay or Facebook Marketplace works well — especially if you have a collection to bundle.

Electronics

10. Old Cell Phones

Even older or cracked phones still have value. Best Buy has a trade-in program where you can get store credit.

11. Tablets & Laptops

Old iPads and laptops move quickly on Facebook Marketplace or eBay. Wipe the device to factory settings before listing — buyers expect it and it protects your data.

12. Cameras

Old DSLRs and point-and-shoot cameras sell well on eBay — most people upgraded to shooting on their phone and never looked back. Include any lenses, cases, or accessories you have, since bundles bring more. Check recently sold listings to price yours accurately.

13. Video Game Consoles & Games

Old gaming systems, like a first-generation Nintendo Switch or original Xbox, can sell for a good price. List them on eBay, and don’t forget to search recently sold prices first.

14. Small Kitchen Appliances

The air fryer you never use, an extra coffee maker, a juicer collecting dust — people buy these all the time on Facebook Marketplace. These items are bulky to ship, so local pickup is your best bet.

 

Furniture & Home Items

15. Furniture

A couch, dresser, dining table, or bookcase in decent shape can sell for $50–$300+ on Facebook Marketplace, where local pickup means zero platform fees. Take photos in good lighting and include dimensions in the listing.

16. Home Décor

Rugs, mirrors, picture frames, vases, and decorative items move well locally. Staging the item in a styled photo versus a cluttered background can double your interest.

17. Holiday Decorations

Christmas trees, decorations, and outdoor inflatables sell fast when the season approaches — list at least few weeks ahead of each holiday for the best results.

18. Tools

Power tools, hand tools, and especially gas-powered equipment like trimmers and chainsaws sell quickly. Older, higher-quality tools often bring more than newer ones. Yard sales and Facebook Marketplace are both solid options here.

Sports & Outdoor Gear

19. Sports Equipment

Soccer goals, baseball mitts, hockey gear, golf clubs — parents and athletes are always looking for a deal on used equipment. Timing matters: list golf clubs in spring and summer, ski gear in fall.

20. Bicycles

Kids’ bikes that have been outgrown sell quickly locally. Adult bikes in good shape can bring $75–$300+ depending on the brand. Clean them up before photographing.

21. Exercise Equipment

That treadmill or set of dumbbells taking up space in the basement? People buy used fitness equipment constantly on Facebook Marketplace. These are heavy to ship, so sell locally.

Books, Media & Collectibles

22. Books

College textbooks can bring real money — try eCampus or Amazon Trade-In for a quick quote. Sell during back-to-school season for better prices. For kids’ books or general reading, bundle and sell locally.

23. DVDs, Blu-Rays & Video Games

EBay makes this painless — scan the barcodes in the app, get a quote, ship for free, and get paid. Disney movies and collector’s editions tend to be worth more.

24. Collectibles

Vintage toys, comic books, vinyl records, trading cards, coins — if you have a collection gathering dust, it might be worth more than you think. Look up recently sold prices on eBay before listing.

Other High-Value Things to Sell

25. Musical Instruments

That old guitar, keyboard, or school band instrument is worth more than you’d expect. Clean it up, and take good photos. eBay or Facebook Marketplace both work well; you’ll get more on eBay if it’s a recognizable brand.

26. Gift Cards

Have unused gift cards sitting in a drawer? Sites like Raise and GiftCards.com let you sell them for cash. You won’t get face value, but it beats letting them expire.

Tips for Selling Faster

• Take good photos. Natural lighting and a clean background make a huge difference. Take multiple angles.
• Price to sell. Check recently sold listings on eBay or Facebook to see what things actually sold for — not just what sellers are asking.
• Bundle when you can. A “lot” of kids’ clothes, books, or toys in a single listing often sells faster and earns more than individual pieces.
• Sell locally first. For large, heavy, or fragile items, local pickup on Facebook Marketplace means no shipping headaches and no fees.
• Be honest about condition. Note any flaws in your listing — you’ll have fewer cancellations and better reviews.

How Much Can You Make?

It really depends on what you have, but many families walk away with $200–$500 after a solid weekend of decluttering. Bigger items like furniture, sports gear, and electronics add up fast. Even selling a handful of smaller things — a box of kids’ books, an old tablet, some outgrown clothes — can put $50–$100 in your pocket quickly.

The best part? You’re clearing out space at the same time. That’s a win no matter how you look at it.
