I did my third appearance in two months on the “10! Show” on NBC 10 in Philadelphia today. In this segment I show viewers where they can find steals and deals in March. Tomorrow, I’ll post the text version of my tips, with more details and links to some of the retailers I mentioned.

If you’re interested in purchasing a copy of my book Suddenly Frugal, you can use the image link below.

Thanks once again to all of the Suddenly Frugal readers who took the Cash for Clutter survey. To remind you this is the topic of my next book. It was interesting to discover how in line this book is with what interests you, my readers. Here are some results highlights from the survey.

For starters, 92% of survey takers have sold their clutter for cash. Many of the people who took this survey use more than one selling method and they have sold many different kinds of items.

When selling stuff, people use the following methods:

• 74% hold yard sales
• 51% use Craigslist to sell stuff
• 48% rely on eBay
• 40% take their castoffs to a consignment or resale shop
• 20% find other ways to make money from their stuff, ranging from classified ads to neighborhood listserves to Amazon’s Marketplace to local flea markets.

When trying to get cash from things they no longer need, here’s what people are selling the most often:

• Books (77%)
• Clothing (72%)
• Furniture (71%)
• Games and toys (61%)
• Appliances (35%)
• Jewelry and accessories and jewelry (33% each)
• Other “stuff”, including sporting equipment, collectibles and electronics (38%)

People do fairly well in selling their stuff, in that most make a couple hundred dollars from items they might have just thrown out! Of those items, here’s what sells the best:

• Furniture (43%)
• Clothing (19%)

One person added a comment that she’s made nearly $3,000 from selling her furniture. Wow!

People reported that while they sold books often (77% of the time, as mentioned above), they didn’t make much money off of them. This is why I’m including a chapter in this forthcoming book about how you can “make” more money swapping old books for new ones. The same can be said for movies and music. One person I interviewed for the book was able to get $4,000 worth of movies and books for free.

I loved doing this survey and reading people’s responses. Many of you also made suggestions for topics you’d like to see me cover in future blog postings, and I am thinking about how and when I can cover them all.
