If you haven't sold on ebay this may be your time to start. You need a decent digital camera.

I have sold a lot of things on ebay, including used curtains and a bathtub that we removed while renovating our master bath.

It was a built in ordinary jacuzzi and it was 18 years old. Built in ...in that it had a tiled surround. I took pictures of it before and after the tile and walls were removed and told the absolute truth, It was 18 years old and we don't bathe much......(Whoa now, we do shower ;D) I put it up because we needed someone to simply take it away. I listed it for ten dollars and local pick up only. Now listen to this.........It sold for $350, there were 32 bidders, and someone from 150 miles away bought it.

After that when I changed things in my house I would list the curtains and pictures and vases and candlesticks and I have sold almost every one. AND the more honest you ae to point out nicks and repaired places and tell the truth of an items age, the better they sell.
