#3 — Old Software CDs
This is how many people buy their software. Why pay $99 a year for Microsoft Office when you can get the 2007 version for under $20.
I still use my Microsoft Office 2007. It works perfectly. At $99 a year, I’ve saved myself around $1,500.
Not everyone needs the most up-to-date version.

If you’re a wine drinker, this is for you. Don’t throw those empty bottles away. Sell them on eBay instead. They can be used for crafting or for display purposes.
#5— Used Wine Bottle Corks

Who would have guessed the wine bottle corks could be so versatile.
#6 — Discount Coupons
We often get given discount coupons by various stores, but may not want to use them. Instead of throwing them away, did you know that you can sell them on eBay?
Someone may pay $10 to get 20% off a $100 purchase. The seller and the buyer both gain $10 from the deal.
As well as selling these coupons, you may also want to buy ones that give you a discount on a purchase you’re planning to make.
#7 — TV Remote Controls
Many people have old TV remote controls lying around the house. You might no longer need it, but someone out there might be looking for that exact model.
Selling it makes you money and ensures the buyer can now watch TV again.
