Sell Junk as “Vintage Items”
Here’s a great way to keep your house spotless and make some money on Etsy:
Clean out the crap in your house and sell it as “Vintage Items”.
Clean out the crap in your house and sell it as “Vintage Items”.
We’ve all seen quite a few “Vintage Items” for sale on Etsy. A lot of sellers are out there selling really cool collectible items that have style and are truly “retro” and can be considered desirable.
To make a fast buck, you need to clean your closets and garage of anything that is over 10 years old and sell it as a Vintage Item. If the items are not beat up and scruffy looking, then you need to apply a good scratching with steel wool, a chemical abrasive, or a sharp salad fork.
Take out those too small Levi’s jeans from 1997 and tear some holes in the knees and pockets for that “Weathered” or “Distressed” fabric look that all people with small brains desire. In fact, generously apply lighter fluid to these jeans and set them on fire for 30 seconds or so to obtain that “Been in a Burning Hot Forest Fire” look.
Take those Time magazines from 1988, alter the date on the front with some good ink pens, and pass them off for 1938 Time magazines. Make sure not to include magazines with presidents like Barrack Obama or any of the Bush boys… but you can use anything before 1988, and most silly fools will buy your magazines and not suspect a thing. Just put them in a plastic preservation sleeve and apply some tape to seal it… and they will likely never even open the magazines ! Voila !
Grab those Barbie dolls from the 90’s and apply some real abuse using various sharp objects from around the kitchen and you can pass them off as Barbies from the 1950s ! Magic ! Weathered objects sell, so you need to really apply some abrasive action on Barbie’s skin to make her look 60 years old. Just pretend like it’s your mother-in-law and go to town !
