Before-You-Sell Checklist

Ready to part with unused belongings? Here’s how to get your items ready to be sold online, offered in a yard sale, or donated. (For insider tips on how to successfully sell your things, see Cash in Your Castoffs.)

Collect all the components. It's important to include all the pieces when selling games or other products with many parts.
Make everything look like new. Wash and iron clothing, polish silver, remove visible stains, vacuum a used couch, and so on.
Remove names anywhere they're written. Especially in books or on clothing. That may mean removing tags that have permanent ink.
