2. Sell on Ebay
Having been a seller on Ebay for 9 years personally I can tell you it is not all smooth sailing on Ebay compared to what is once was. With the economy what it has been for the past few years selling things that are not necessities on Ebay does not bring in a huge amount of money. Also as Ebay has continued changing the rules over time I have seen high volume power sellers (selling $10,000 a month) be crippled so completely by Ebays practices that they have even lost their power seller status (selling less than $1000 a month).
That being said if you are not looking for something that will let you completely quit your day job and make you rich than Ebay can be good for you. Best practice is to research what products are selling and purchase a large bulk amount of something that sells, separate it into individual items and sell them individually on Ebay. Without much effort making a few hundred a month is fairly easy. If Ebay does rub you the wrong way feel free to try these other auction/selling sites listed below to sell your items.

These sites don't charge you to list items only when it actually sells you pay a small percentage(and the percentage is smaller than what Ebay charges).
