In the western world garage sales are pretty much popular in the neighborhood, where people get rid of their old stuff by selling it, rather than just simply throwing it. However, this trend is almost unheard of in India.
Here people tend to give their stuff to charity homes or dump it into the bin. But then, there is money making option - selling old and used stuff on ebay, as long as they can be of some use to others. It becomes all the more fun in the sections where one can actually have their stuff auctioned. And the rarer the object being put on sale, the higher the price one can be paid.
Mostly, people can sell books, VCDs, DVDs, childrens books, wearable clothes, corporate gifts and other accessories, and various gadgets on ebay. What they need to do is log on to the site and register themselves. First, one needs to fill up the online form with all the details, which automatically registers you.
After following all instructions one can sell on ebay, whatever is allowed to be sold. So, while the garage sales will take its own time to establish itself in India, you could go online and sell all your wares and recover some money spent. And then, who knows there maybe someone who needs something you own, very desperately.
