    Bluetree, I was just going to post the suggestion about selling on ebay, but you beat me to it. I too use ebay sales to finance my own ebay purchases (often for bike gear and clothing!) I sell clothes that don't fit right or just aren't "me", household items in good condition, gifts that don't suit me, bike gear and apparel that didn't work out (recently made $175 selling a pair of Speedplay Zero titanium pedals I just couldn't get clipped into, and since I am not riding on the road right now, didn't have the incentive to keep trying), stuff of my husband's, etc. It's amazing how much excess stuff most of us have that's so much clutter, but one gal's trash can be another's treasure!

    Too true, Emily. I paid for over half of my bike by selling stuff I don't use on ebay. That's definitely what I'd recommend for anyone who is trying to make some spare cash...especially since you can transfer your PayPal money to your bank account and then go spend it wherever you need/want to!

    When I was in college, ebay bought my groceries.
