16 Things In Your House You Can Make Extra Cash From Selling

License plates

If you’ve got some old metal license plates hidden somewhere in your garage, don’t throw them out just yet! Try to sell them, first! You might be surprised by how many people will want to buy them from you.

That’s because there are many ways you can use license plates. You can decorate man caves, create modern art and build cool birdhouses. On Craigslist, you can sell your license plates for at least $30. Collectors are particularly interested and willing to pay more for vintage plates, which are in good condition and from non-contiguous states (Alaska and Hawaii).

Vintage eyeglasses

Remember that pair of wire-framed eyeglasses your great-grandmother used to wear? Well, in those times, people usually had gold-filled eyewear, so, make sure you look for the abbreviation “GF” (gold-filled) and the karat rating. Such a pair could bring you around $30-$50!

Even if you only have a vintage pair of eyeglasses from the 1950s, not a gold-filled one, you can still make $20-$40. Eyewear enthusiasts or retro fashionistas will be more than willing to take them off your hands (or should I say eyes).
