How to sell items you no longer need?

Hey guys it been a while since my last update on the blog. I recently did something to handle all the extra items I own. I know the major problem we face while decluttering is not knowing what to do with the items we own after we remove them from our cupboards and shelves. Some are old which we happily throwaway. Incase some are usable we donate them mostly to our house help. But what about the things that are in really good condition and expensive and we cant donate them or give them away as such. That is when selling them comes in our mind.
We sold our old television to our maid which both useful to her plus we dint loose any money. But the what about certain good tech gadgets that we dont enjoy using or the function wear lehenga or certain good looking clothes you got on a vacation which dont fit you and you realized this after reaching home. Well I searched about this and the first suggestion I got was the famous olx. I'll talk about it later. Coming to my favorite app. It's Poshmark. This was something that I came across after watching my favorite youtube influencer who talks about minimalism Malama life. This app is recently launched in India and I think that its amazing.
Only drawback is the commission they charge on the sold items. But it's worth it because you can sell your items without worrying about anything.

How it works?
1. Click few pictures of your product.
2. Take a video of your product less than 15 secs.
3. Tap on camera icon and upload it.
4. Add few Details and the price you want to sell the item.
5. Thats it. Now wait for buyers to send you offers. You can check the remaining details in your app itself.

By this way I sold close to 18 items. Which includes all my extra bags, clothes and unused tech gadgets. Some people have also been doing online business using this platform. Incase you have something in mind you can check this out.
I wish you guys found this useful. Share and comment if you want to read more such useful blogs.

Extra story:
Coming back to the olx, I had bad experience with it. Its filled with scammers who show us that they are willing to buy anything we post without negotiating even one rupee. Then they ask our watsapp no and send qr code. If we scan that like fools and enter our pin then we lose our money. These scammers talk in a convincing way and force us to do it immediately before we change our mind.

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1. Cooking - Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward. I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop. I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls. The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

Consumerism - Minimalism (Part - 2)

Well let's first understand this term consumerism. It means encouraging the consumption of goods and services as a never ending cycle. So in simple words we the people are consumers who will constantly be bombarded with ads promoting that we need certain things to increase our standard of living. What's wrong in increasing the standard of living? Let's be honest there's nothing wrong. It is good to get stuff that ease our lives like mixer and grind instead of the old ways of grinding spices, television for entertainment, mobile phone for communication, vehicle for travelling. So where does the problem arise? It arrises when we start buying more stuff than we actually need just because we saw a ad saying the existing one is not good. We will always find something better coming up in the market each day. It has become a way of life. Most of the time the products are purposefully made so fragile that we end up replacing them. Eg: The glass back on mobile phones are goo...
