Sell coupons on eBay

eBay is often referred to as the biggest online garage sale. Some people think that you can sell anything on eBay - even things that you would otherwise throw away. Well, in this case, that is true!

People have been selling their junk mail on the eBay!

You know those % off offers you get from big companies like Lowe's or Bed Bath & Beyond, discount coupons -- typically good for 10 to 20 percent off a single purchase -- currently sell for about $3 to $4 on eBay. Bigger coupon discounts can get you $20 or more.

You may think that there is something "wrong" with making money this way, but as long as you point out, as most coupon hawkers note in their listings, that "most coupons are available for free somewhere, it just takes time and effort to obtain them. That is what people are bidding on -- my time and effort to clip and sort, not the actual coupons themselves."

Selling coupons from your junk mail or Sunday Paper could bring $50-$100 a month. Not bad for something you would throw away.

Hey - just read through your entire blog and have been inspired! Thanks for all the tips, I really appreciate it. Keep 'em comin! I've sold several things on ebay, but had no idea you could sell stuff like empty ink cartridges- crazy!

Great idea. I recently blogged about coupon clipping services. Why not sell them on Ebay?

Hi, I found you on Mom Gadget. I love your blog. My mom has an E-Bay store and I am going to pass along your blog. I think she would greatly benefit from your tips. Keep up the great work!

Great ideas. I really should sell my coupons on E-bay, since I rarely use them.
