Kids are usually the main beneficiaries of Christmas because everyone from their parents to aunts and uncles 'will' buy them something. Adults also enjoy spoils, even when they don't expect anything.
Everyone knows that January is where finances will be stretched and tested to the extreme - due to being paid in the middle of December and then at the end of January. It helps to have extra cash either by a company bonus or yearly savings, but there is also another way.
Some of the most common presents are socks or coffee mug sets, though items like air fryers, egg boilers and toasters are also decent gifts. Maybe someone (unknowingly) bought you something you already own, or you (for lack of a better word and not trying to be rude) aren't really fond of the gift.
Anything sells
If the item you received as a gift is simply taking up space inside the home, someone out there could be in need of one and is willing to buy it from you. Everything from gas masks to vintage scale cars have been sold on Gumtree. Perhaps you even have an item from a couple of Christmas' ago that can be sold.
People are constantly upgrading their electronic gadgets to get the latest and greatest they can afford to get. But what happens to all the old ones? Chances are you’re one of the many with a ‘junk drawer’ filled with all the old ones and don’t know what to do with it.
These are some of the items that sell relatively quickly on Gumtree:
With consistent loadshedding and the ever-increasing cost of living, the need is becoming greater to make some extra cash for if and when that rainy day does happen. Times are becoming tough.
