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.

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...

Clothing lessons I learnt💃

Growing up my parents used to buy clothing only 3-4 times a year mainly during festive seasons or sometimes when they needed any piece of clothing. They dint have television nor internet so they as consumers had the freedom to decide and mindfully buy the stuff they need only when they need it unlike our generation. Here we turn our tv on or any social media platform it bombards us with lot of products which dint exist in the previous era and we are tricked into believe that these are essentials. There is some sale or offer going on every other day on the online shopping platforms. We have piled up our closets with skin care, hair care products, slippers, clothes, bags, home essentials etc.. Im also guilty of piling my closet up. So here are the clothing lessons I learnt: 1. Don't buy a new skin care or hair care product unless the previous one is over. 2. Invest in quality over quantity. Im not that kind of person who looks into brands while I purchase stuff. If something feels...

An incident at the gym 💪💪

Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...
