Have you heard the expression that one man's garbage is another man's gold?

The basic premise dictates that what one person no longer needs or wants, might be highly sought after by another person. After all, if you once loved to stare at an old painting, chances are that someone else will experience the same feelings as you.

Once you look at your garbage in a new light, you will understand how you can make money by selling it on eBay.

So what kind of "garbage" can hold great value on eBay?

Here are some of my suggestions for finding value in your garbage. Once you read my suggestions you can use the ideas behind them to develop your own goldmine.

eBay Garbage Goldmine #1

Newspapers. Every day your newspaper is filled with articles of interest. Articles covering sports, politics, and business appear every single day. Even though most articles can be read online, there are many people who enjoy having the original news clips.

Especially if the press clips concern them, their businesses, their religious organizations, or topics that they hold close to their hearts.

If you see an interesting article in your local newspaper clip it and sell it on eBay.

Your cost is next to nothing, so any profit can go directly to your bottom line.

eBay Garbage Goldmine #2

Vintage books, cards, and comics. Most old paper goods have a collectible appeal to them. For example, an old post card of Monterrey, Mexico will hold a nostalgic appeal to someone who once visited or lived in the Mexican city.

eBay Garbage Goldmine #3

Unique food packaging. A cereal box that features a popular athlete can hold value in the eyes of a loyal sport's fan. The same would apply to food packaging that has pictures of religious leaders, politicians, or actors.

As you can see, an item that might hold little or no appeal to you might excite someone else. By listing the items on eBay you can connect with a buyer who would love to purchase your "garbage."
