How To Declutter Your Home and Save Money
Are you looking to declutter your home a bit for the Summer? Here's a super fun way to get rid of some of the “stuff” around the home and get some cash back in return.
If you've got lots of things hanging around the house and you truly want to declutter – I seriously think you're going to love this.
Do you have a ton of old CDs stashed somewhere?
DVDs your kids stopped watching years ago?
An old gaming system no longer in use (Or 3??)
A few cell phones hiding in a drawer?
Throw all those in a box, send it away FOR FREE and get paid in cash the day after your items are received.
For real.Â
I tried it out myself and earned $60 with DeCluttr by simply doing some cleaning around the house – selling some of my husband's old cd's, the kids' old Xbox, some Wii games and a few books.
I LOVE THAT!!!
The best part?
It was stuff that we NEVER USE.
It's just been sitting there – gathering dust and cluttering up space in our home.
I love to always think of things as an “hourly rate”, and making $60 in literally 30 minutes was pretty exciting to me.Â
That's $120 per hour ~ not too shabby!
Now, you're not going to get rich with this one, but every penny counts, and if you have a bunch of stuff that just needs to get our of your home, this is the absolute easiest way to do it.
Here's how to declutter your home this weekend and earn some money:
To Get Started:
1 . Gather together a pile of unwanted electronics, cds, books, dvds, games or game systems to see what they'll be worth.
2 . Â Head over to HEREÂ and enter the barcode of an item to see what you'll be paid.
WAY easier though (and all kinds of fun!) is if you download their app and go around your house scanning barcodes to get the price. Â (Here's a screenshot from my phone of items I was checking in the app.)
3 . Â Click “Accept Price” and add to basket if you agree and want to sell it.
4 . Â Come up with a minimum $10 worth of items you'd like to sell. Â Pack them into a box (any box) and attach your free shipping label. Â (This will be sent to your email inbox for you to print out)
5 . Â Mail off your box! Â You'll get paid the day after they receive your box – via Paypal, Check or Direct Deposit.
So what happens to all that stuff?
DeCluttr ends up selling most of it on eBay ~ saving you the time and hassle of selling it yourself. You may make a few pennies more sending it to eBay yourself or selling in a local online yard sale, but getting it done so quickly was worth it for me.
Is Decluttr Safe to Use?
DeCluttr has a 5 Star rating on TrustPilot and several PPP readers have tried it and loved using it too!

It seems you could get a much better price listing these items on a social media sale page. $.40 for an Xbox game?
To anyone reading this post and about to use Decluttr – it is at your own risk.
I used it in the past couple of weeks, after seeing this post come across my feed, thinking to clear out tons of DVDs, Blu-Rays, games, and an old Wii console. Went through the whole process of scanning and inputting every item, then packaging up two – yes, two boxes to send to Decluttr (to keep them both under 20lbs each). That Wii weighed a lot! So one box was just full of DVDs and Blu-Rays, the other had DVDs, Blu-Rays, and the Wii. I followed their instructions to get a second shipping from Decluttr.
Out of my own need to track packages, I kept the tracking numbers, noted when both were delivered on 3/18 at the exact same time, and also received an email from Declutter stating they’d received my selling “order”. Yesterday, I got an email stating they’d gone through all of the items, and everything was in order, except for the Wii. That was missing. How could that be missing if they’d gotten everything else? Unless someone had stolen it from the package.
Ok, that’s annoying, .aybe UPS people did steal it, but that’s not what is making me question using Decluttr. They then told me to provide them shipping receipts and the IMEI number so they can start a claim. What? Decluttr provides the shipping labels, THEY have the receipts. And IMEI number? There is no such thing for a Wii, that’s for cellular-using devices, not a device that can only be connected through a home internet system. Both of these requests are absurd, and seem to be a way to just run you around. As of now, “customer service” has been of no help. With the above requests for things that don’t exist or they should have themselves, I believe they have stolen the Wii, a way for them to make an even larger profit on selling it.
Use this for DVDs and books and such that you don’t care about very much, but save the actual devices for your own selling – that way they’re not just stolen from you by this company.
Oh no ~ so sorry to hear that AGates! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I’ve heard way too many bad experience stories about that company. I even checked them out on the BBB website and seen a ton of complaints- many VERY similar to your ordeal.

I’ve learned the hard way to always check a new company out with the BBB or I don’t do business with them in person nor online. I feel bad they did you wrong.
i have a question about the Lego…I have a lot of Lego, but some of them are the bigger bricks. (i think they call them junior lego)
Can those be sent as well? I also have wheels, platforms and accessories…can i also send those?
Thanks
