Spring is almost here, and you know what that means … time for some spring cleaning! Don’t worry, it isn’t as awful as it sounds. In fact, it can even earn you some extra spending cash. Sounds like a good deal to me!

This year when you clean out your closet, garage or tool shed, post the items you can do without to an app like letgo for both Apple and Android devices.

Selling
With the letgo app, you can sell a wide variety of items ranging from art, antiques, appliances, cars, clothing and cabinets, to movies, sports memorabilia and just about anything else you can imagine.

Once you’re registered, you can post your items for sale in as little as 30 seconds. It’s free to list items, and each post can have as many as five photos of the item. Then, you can also share your letgo listing with your friends on Facebook, WhatsApp and other social networks.

Buying
Even better, if you’re in the market for something new, you can buy anything you see in the app with just a few clicks. You can search in a certain category or browse and see what’s for sale nearby. There’s tons of items listed in all sorts of different categories, so be careful, you could spend hours just scrolling through listings!

The letgo app also says that they won’t share your information, including your location, with anyone. As a buyer however, you will be able to see location information and a full profile of the seller. You can also chat with the buyer or seller within the app to negotiate prices or schedule a pick up time.
