Household Declutter Guide: Turn Unwanted Valuables into Cash
Every home has them: the jewellery box nobody opens, the drawer of tangled gadgets, the watch that stopped years ago. A household declutter is the easiest way to reclaim that space — and with Give Me The Cash, it can put money in your pocket at the same time.
Start with the easy wins: jewellery and watches
Gold and silver jewellery is the most valuable clutter in most homes. Broken chains, single earrings, tangled necklaces and out-of-fashion pieces all have value — even items marked 9ct or sterling that you’d never wear again. Men’s and ladies’ watches count too, whether they run or not. Even costume jewellery is worth sorting through, as vintage pieces can surprise you.
The drawer of forgotten electronics
Old cameras, game consoles, MP3 players and other electrical goods are often the biggest space-hoggers in a declutter. Vintage cameras in particular can be worth real money. Gather everything into one pile and be honest with yourself: if you haven’t used it in two years, it’s a candidate for the box.
Don’t forget silverware and coins
Silver plates, cutlery sets and old coins often hide in cupboards and lofts. Medals and militaria from a relative’s collection can also be of real interest to our experts. It costs nothing to include them and find out.
How selling your decluttered items works
- Order your free postage pack — it includes pre-paid labels and a handy guide to help you maximise your box value.
- Pack your items — broken and tangled items are accepted, and your box is fully tracked and insured.
- Send it for free — drop it at any Post Office or book a free home collection.
- Receive your offer within 7 working days — accept and get paid the same day, or have everything returned to you free of charge.
Sell or loan — the choice is yours
When your box arrives, our experts make you two offers: we can buy your items outright, or loan you cash against them — meaning you get the items back once the loan is repaid. If neither offer meets your expectations, your items come back to you free of charge. There’s no obligation at any point, and the whole service is 100% free to you.
Tips to maximise your box
- Include everything you’re unsure about — even broken and tangled items are accepted.
- Keep pairs and sets together where you can, but don’t discard odd pieces.
- Pack snugly with bubble wrap or newspaper so nothing rattles in transit.
- Note anything valuable before posting — insurance can be raised to £10,000 at no extra cost.
