Spring Cleaning on Steroids: Get Spring Cleaning done with these 5 tips from MaxSold

Use these five tips to tackle the task from MaxSold.

Tip 1: Decide what you are keeping

Heard of the KonMari decluttering method?  Keep an item if it brings you joy and if you have room for it - if not, set it aside.  Start with a post-its to speed up the process as you go along - bite the bullet and blaze through it in a day, or tackle one room at a time.

Tip 2: Don't take it to the dump

One person's trash is another person's treasure - it's amazing how much money you can recover for your unwanted things. Instead of filling up landfill, fill up your wallet.  Barry Gordon, the founder of MaxSold, an online auction platform that provides local expert help to sell everything, says "A chair that the owner was going to leave out in the side of the curb sold for over $2000, and a box of extension cords that would have gone to the dump sold for $40."

Tip 3: Don't prematurely sell off high value items

Ever post an ad online and get a response in an instant? This will leave you wondering if you grossly underpriced the item.  The opposite is also true - if no one responds to your ad for weeks, maybe you overpriced it, and lowering the price over days for 100s of items is inefficient.  Use an auction platform like MaxSold to sell everything where multiple people compete for the goods. Things that are better will engage more people and foster competition for not only items in demand, but for everything you are clearing out.

Tip 4: Don't put stuff in storage

So many people are focused on "What's my dining room going to bring?"  The hard truth is that no one is going to give you a lot of money for your dining room.  It's going to be heartbreaking.  It's going to be awful.  If you've got someone to give it to in the family, then that's a good idea. But most people do not.  And since they have nowhere else to go with it, they decide to put it into storage.  Unfortunately, they end up paying thousands of dollars in storage cost each year, only to have the items further depreciate in value. Sell the item instead using MaxSold.com along with everything else you need to clear out - everything is sold and removed in just two weeks.

Tip 5: Opt for an easy solution

You have now decided what you are going to keep and what you are going to sell. Choose a company with proven methodologies, good online reviews and a process that eliminates security risk. With MaxSold, all the cataloging and photography is done in one day, and pickups are arranged to take place in one afternoon - all tightly supervised by MaxSold staff.  There is documentation with pictures and prices for every single thing sold.
