27 Surprising Items You Can Sell for $100 (That You Already have)

And you can sell locally or online and make $100 or more.

You can also turn selling stuff into a side hustle by purchasing stuff to resell, or “flip,” for a profit, rather than just selling the stuff that you already have in your home (more on that later!).

What Can I Sell for 100 Dollars

So, for those wondering, “what can I sell to make money from home?“, here’s what you can sell for 100 bucks.

1. Books and textbooks

Dust off those old books and textbooks that you haven’t read in a while and sell ‘em.

There are plenty of places to do so, like on Book Scouter, Sell Back Your Book, and BookFinder.com. Depending on the number of books you have, you could bring in 100 bucks.

The global second-hand book market is assessed at $14,650 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $23,190.2 million by 2034. So, there’s definitely a market out there for used books. You may as well sell them, right?

2. Furniture

Have some furniture you don’t want or need anymore? Then sell it and bring in some extra cash.

Many people nowadays are in the market for used furniture like chairs, dining tables, desks, and bookcases. This is where you can come in and make a profit.

Sell through platforms like Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, and eBay.

There’s definitely a market out there for used furniture. In fact, home goods and furniture recommerce spending is forecast to reach $23.56 billion in 2025. Cash in on the demand by selling your old furniture.

3. Sports equipment

Let’s face it, we’re likely never going to use those old football pads or those ski boots that are in the garage. Sports equipment just takes up so much room too! Sell it instead and clear some space in your home while making a profit.

You could sell all sorts of sports equipment from football equipment, like footballs, practice jerseys, and helmets to soccer equipment, like soccer cleats, balls, and goals. Sell your used sports equipment to places like SidelineSwap and Play It Again Sports.

4. Board games

Most people don’t think of board games when they’re looking to sell stuff. But, you definitely should. Old board games sell particularly well because people love the nostalgic nature of them.

Cash in on your old board games by selling them.

You can sell them to places like BoardGameCo, BoardGameGeek, and Noble Knight Games.

5. Sports cards

Baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, all sorts of sports cards really, sell well. If you have a box of them, then sell them to places like local card shops, DA Card World, SportsCardPro, and Dean’s Cards.

6. Tools

Tools can fetch 100 bucks easily. If you don’t really have a need for them, selling them to bring in some money is a good idea. Sell tools like hammers, saws, weed trimmers, chainsaws, and axes.

Any tools, even small tools, like hammers and wrenches, are worth selling, but you’ll of course earn more money from selling larger tools and gas-powered tools, like chainsaws or weed trimmers.

7. VHS tapes

There’s definitely a market for VHS tapes. Some people want VHS tapes because of the nostalgic nature of them and others want to enjoy them as a collector’s item. Sell your old tapes for some cash.

Sure, you may only get a few dollars each for them, but that’s cash in your pocket, right?

If you have valuable tapes like the Black Diamond Disney VHS tapes, for example, you can sell them for more money. We’re talking $20 to $50 per tape.

8. DVDs

Most of us don’t want our DVDs anymore, preferring to stream our movies and TV shows on platforms like Netflix and Hulu.

Earn some cash by selling your old DVDs to places like Decluttr and Sell Back Your Book.

9. Decorations

A lot of us have built up quite a collection of decorations over the years. I’ve found this to be the case with Christmas decorations. I have a box of Christmas decorations that I don’t use anymore.

Dust off your old decorations and make some money selling them. You can sell holiday decorations like Christmas decorations, Easter decorations, and Halloween decorations. Sell your decorations on places like OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace.

10. Baby gear

As a parent, it feels like our babies are always outgrowing their stuff. Clothing that used to swamp them now looks tiny in comparison to the items they’re wearing now.

I have a ton of baby grows that I look at and wonder how my daughter ever fits into them!

And, as our kids get older, they outgrow more and more of their stuff like:

• Highchairs
• Baby clothes
• Cribs
• Bags
• Strollers
• Books
• Baby wearing gear
• Diaper bags
• Playmats
• Walkers

This stuff occupies a lot of space in our homes. If you aren’t going to use these baby items anymore, it makes total sense to sell them to make a little extra money.

Baby gear can be sold for $100 or more depending on how much stuff you have to sell.

Sell baby stuff to places like Kidzen, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and 5miles.

11. Musical instruments

We all have the best intentions when it comes to learning a musical instrument. Our hope is we can learn how to play the guitar or the piano. But, time gets away from us and often we’re too busy to play the instrument that we hoped to learn. I was that way when trying to learn the guitar.

The same goes for instruments we already know how to play, right?

We just don’t seem to get as much time to play them. I have a flute that I haven’t played in nearly two decades!

Dig out your old instruments and put them up for sale.

12. Small kitchen appliances

Small kitchen appliances like coffee machines and mixers can be sold to make $100. Let’s face it, many of the small kitchen appliances we purchase aren’t used as much as we would have hoped.

Clear some countertop space and put some cash in your pocket by selling them.

You can sell small kitchen appliances on sites like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist.

13. Clothing

Selling used clothing is a good way to bring in an extra $100 fast.

Many of us have clothes in our closets that we just don’t wear anymore.

Perhaps you have items that don’t fit you anymore? Or maybe you just have some clothes that you don’t like wearing anymore? After all, our clothing style can change over the years.

I recently sold a bunch of my clothes. I had a ton of sweaters and skirts that I just didn’t want. Some didn’t fit me and some of them just didn’t match my current style. So, I decided to sell them. I made over $100!

You can sell clothes to places like Poshmark, thredUP, and Vinted.

There’s definitely money to be made selling clothing.

In fact, the global secondhand apparel market was estimated to be worth $211 billion in 2023. By 2027, this is forecast to rise to more than $350 billion dollars. Cash in on the demand by selling your used clothing.

14. Toys

Kid’s toys are another one of those things that take up a ton of space. And, kids outgrow their toys.

Selling toys can bring in a little extra money.

Lego and vintage items typically fetch a higher price. Apps like Facebook Marketplace and sites like Toycycle and Bergen Pickers are good for offloading unwanted kid’s toys.

15. China and other tableware/dishware

China items, like cups, plates, and dishes sell well. So, if you have any of that type of thing, you could sell it for extra cash.

16. Smartphones

Like most people, you probably upgrade your phone quite often meaning you have an old phone lying around that you no longer need.

Cash it in by selling it to a site like Gazelle and SellCell. Depending on the brand and model of the phone, you could make $100 or even more than that.

17. Bridesmaid dresses

A bridesmaid dress is one of those pieces that is totally useless after you’ve worn it once.

Why not sell it?

You can sell used bridesmaid dresses to places like Borrowing Magnolia, Etsy, and local bridal boutiques.

18. Prom dresses

Prom is a pretty expensive affair, costing the average teen around $1k. You may as well cash in that prom dress you no longer need by selling it.

You can get around 30% to 50% of the original retail price if your dress is in good condition.

Sell your used prom dress at places like Queenly, local consignment stores, and Etsy.

19. Laptops

You could get $100 or more for a laptop, depending on the brand, model, and condition.

Bundle any accessories with it and you could make even more. Cash in your old laptop at places like SellBroke.com, Swappa, and Gadget Salvation.

20. Games consoles

Dust off your old PlayStation, Xbox, or other game consoles and rake in $100.

Gamers looking to save money on a console will look to buy a used one, and you can cash in on this demand.

Sell your games consoles to places like Decluttr and Swappa.

21. Your hair

Selling your hair is one of the weirder ways to make money, yes, but it’s certainly an option to consider.

You can sell your hair to places like HairSellon and BuyandSellHair.com. You can get anywhere from $150 to $600 from selling your hair.

22. Shoes

High heels, boots, athletic shoes, sneakers – whatever it is, you likely have at least one pair of shoes that you no longer wear. These can be sold online or near you.

23. Old postcards

Postcards are something that many people don’t consider selling, but they should! This is a good way to make money from items that you don’t need.

Sell your old postcards at places like Cardcow.com and SellOldPostCards.com.

24. Data

You could sell your data for money. Sure, you may not make 100 bucks, but you can still make some extra cash to add to your $100 goal.

Some companies simply have a mobile app or desktop app that you just install on your device. And, this app collects your data and the company pays you for it. Other companies will collect data and information from you through surveys and some do both.

You can sell your data through places like Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel, SavvyConnect, and Ipsos iSay.

25. Affiliate products

If you don’t want to sell items of your own, consider selling other people’s products as an affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing involves selling other people’s products. You get an affiliate link and when a customer clicks on your link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission on the sale.

You could sell anything from cameras to beauty products to VPN services.

26. Tablets

Tablets, like the iPad, can sell well. Put yours up for sale.

You can sell to people locally through yard sales or places like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Or opt for an online sale through sites like Gazelle, Swappa, and SellCell.

27. Vinyl records

Have some old records? Why not sell them?

You can sell your old vinyl records to places like Discogs, CD and LP, Vinylom, and local record stores.

The global vinyl records market size is expected to reach $637.20 million by 2030. So, there’s a market out there for vinyl records. You may as well cash in on the demand by selling your vinyl records.

What if I Don’t Have These Things?

If you don’t have items like these to sell, then the question shifts to, “What can I buy for $50 and sell for $100?”

In essence, we’re talking about flipping items for profit.

The good news is that you can still use the same strategy. You can scout for these items at yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores, auctions, or even in the clearance sections of online and offline retailers. Additionally, leveraging coupons and promo codes can help you get products cheaper than their actual value, allowing you to resell them at a profit.

That’s how you can turn $100 to $1000!

Of course, to make the most profit, you need to be asking yourself, “What are the most profitable resale items?”.

The answer to that is a little beyond the scope of this post, but the easiest way you can discover what is the cheapest but most profitable product to sell is to look at resale sites and see what things are popular. That should give you a good idea of where to start.

Read my post on thrift sore flipping for a list of the best items to resell for profit.

What Will You Sell for $100?

As you can see, there are tons of unneeded and unused stuff in our homes that can be turned into cold hard cash.

So next time you wonder, “What can I sell for $100,” look around your house, in the attic, garage, storage space, closet, and anywhere else you keep your extra stuff.

We all have so much stuff in our homes that just takes up space. All of that unneeded used stuff can be sold for extra cash.

This includes everything from sports equipment to clothing to musical instruments.

It makes sense to sell these items. You’ll clear some space in your home and make some money in the process. So, it really is a win-win.

There’s also the option to actually buy items to resell them, or “flip” them for a profit if you’re looking to turn this into a side hustle.

Whatever the case, it’s good to know that there are plenty of items you can sell for $100.
