Looking to make some extra cash on Facebook Marketplace? As a busy 40-something with a full-time job and kids, I don’t have time to flip items for profit. Instead, I use the platform to sell stuff around the house, declutter, and recoup some of my past purchases. It’s my sustainable side hustle.
In May, I had a successful month on Marketplace. I sold two out of three items listed and made $360. I find that baby and kid items do well, so I listed a Halo bassinet and a Melissa & Doug art easel. Although the bassinet is still available, I’m confident it will sell eventually.
My recent Marketplace earnings
Selling locally on Facebook Marketplace has been successful for me. In May, I sold the Halo bassinet for $175, the art easel for $20, and the Vox guitar amp for $340. It’s a great way to declutter and make some extra cash.
