Trash to Cash

You can make money selling trash on the internet (I'm not kidding).

Trash to Cash teaches you how to source, sell, and ship things you sell on the internet.

I want in!

Do you know what your trash is worth?

Probably not. That's how stuff like this ends up in the recycling bin. Walking through my neighborhood one night I noticed a MacBook box sticking out of an overflowing recycling bin. I picked it up and a week later it sold on eBay for $20.

You probably don't know what your stuff is worth either.


Right before trash day people in my neighborhood would put unwanted items on the curb. This included unwanted books, old wine glasses, and this pasta roller. I picked it up and within a few days it sold on eBay for $86!

All the stuff sitting in your house -- old iPhones, unread books, and random coffee mugs -- is worth money.

Like every other millennial during the covid pandemic, I moved back home to live with my parents. During that time I decluttered their basement. Some of the boxes had been sitting down there for more than four decades!


Like this box of my dad’s old toys:



This one box of toys alone was worth $500! Six months later the basement was decluttered and my parents had $5,000 cash.

Word spread about my dad’s GI Joe collection selling for $$$ on the internet.

A family friend was planning on donating a box of old computer games to Goodwill and asked if I was interested in them. You better believe I was. Every day people donate stuff like this, unaware that it has value. In Trash to Cash, you'll learn how to sell your own stuff and source stuff like this from the thrift store.

Hi! I'm Amanda.



When I was 12 years old I borrowed my dad’s identity and set up my eBay account (sorry dad). 


I grew up and became convinced I had to have a “normal” 9to5 office job. That didn’t work out so I returned to eBay.


I’m currently traveling the country buying stuff at thrift stores and flipping it on eBay and Amazon... 


...while living out of my Subaru Outback.
