✔ CLEAN OUT BURSTING CLOSETS WITH POSHMARK!

Sure, you could lug old clothes to a consignment shop—or you could sell it with Poshmark, an app that lets you post clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. ■ How it works: Download the free Poshmark app, then snap a picture of an item you’d like to sell, write a description, and set a price. To amp up interest among potential buyers, list your original purchase price so they know what a deal they’re getting. Make sure photos are clear, taken in daylight against a plain backdrop and show any wear or damage. ● Cash in: Poshmark does take a small commission, and they’ll send you USPS prepaid preaddressed shipping labels so it’s easy to complete your sale. You’ll be paid via direct deposit or check within three days of the buyer receiving the item.
