Avoid the Janu-Worry blues and sell your unwanted electronics items in a flash

It's a new year and with it comes a refreshed set of resolutions, though it remains to be seen if they are actually honoured throughout the year.

The month of January is notorious for being one of the longest months because people get paid earlier than usual and spend more during December.

Perhaps you bought yourself a new phone for Christmas and the older one is (in great condition) taking up space. This is where Gumtree's online marketplace comes in. Electronic items are best-sellers on Gumtree and there are a quite a few items in particular that sell well.

Smartphones

Everyone needs a phone and if you can get a phone in the three figure of low four figure bracket, then that is a bargain. There are many makes and models to choose from, its all about choosing the one that works better for you.

TVs

A modern home just won't complete without a flat screen TV. You upgrading to a bigger and better TV means you can make some cash with the old one. The most popular sizes are between 40 and 50-inch, so if you're selling yours for a cut price then it's more than likely that it will get sold very quickly.

Gaming consoles and equipment

People are always looking for gaming consoles or equipment at a cut price because buying it new can cost a pretty penny. Playstation and Xbox Series consoles are currently the must-have items. This means that people are selling their older consoles to recoup some cash for a new one. In addition, there are also controllers, game discs and charging stations that sellers will list as well.
