Everyone needs extra money. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that nearly all of us just plain need more money and it’s not even “extra”. I’ve gone from times in my life where I needed extra money to buy diapers to needing extra money to pay my car payment to needing extra …
It seems like every other day there is a new platform popping up where you can sell your used clothes or other items for sweet sweet cash. One by one, these platforms seem to fade from the forefront. In fact, having been a full-time reseller for more than 4 years I have found that less …
