A lot of people are looking to make some quick cash right now due to the economic crisis COVID-19 caused. Whether you’re waiting for the overwhelmed unemployment office to send you your check, in between jobs because you were laid off or furloughed due to the coronavirus, or took a salary cut that’s left money a bit too tight for comfort, you may want a fast way to put money in your pocket until things get settled.

And you may have some of those, lying around, ready to be turned into cash. Here are items you may have at home that you can sell for good money.
