Selling Puzzles

Once you are addicted to jigsaw puzzles, you will find that you are running out of storage for them. Since you don't want to become known as the neighborhood thinpuzzle hoarder, you decide you need to thin the herd.  One way to accomplish this and get some cash to buy more puzzles is to sell the ones you no longer have an attachment to. You might be surprised by the demand for used puzzles, with some discontinued designs reportedly selling for hundreds of dollars!

Selling Your Used Jigsaw Puzzles

When looking to sell your puzzles, several platforms and methods can help you find interested buyers:

• • eBay: This is often the first stop for selling used jigsaw puzzles. eBay boasts a vast marketplace, and if you have good condition, premium brands like Cloudberries, you can often fetch a decent price for them.

  • Specialist Vintage Sites: If you possess old or vintage puzzles, consider specialist sites like Vintage Cash Cow, which deal in all sorts of antique items and collectibles.

  • Online. Do an online search for places to sell jigsaw puzzles.

  • Garage Sales, Rummage Sales, and Trunk Sales: These in-person sales are excellent opportunities to offload your old puzzles, along with other surplus belongings.

Final Thoughts

Selling puzzles is a way to save money, but you have to ask yourself, "Is it worth all the time and effort to save a few bucks?"
