5 Reasons Why You Should Sell Your Unwanted Christmas Presents Online in the New Year

It’s a brand new year. Time for fresh starts and new rituals. But what about the Christmas gifts you have leftover which have already outstayed their welcome? Perhaps a vintage watch which just isn’t your style or a vinyl record which you already own and now have two of? You can easily sell your unwanted Christmas presents here on Catawiki. And here’s 5 reasons why you should sell your unwanted Christmas gifts online this new year...

1. Earn Some Extra Money After the Christmas Season
With 14 million visitors every month, it’s easy to make money selling your objects at our weekly auctions. It’s free to offer up as many objects as you like for auction, so why not give it a go? There’s over 80 auction categories from modern art to antiques to watches. You can easily find the right category for your item where our millions of potential bidders will see it and get bidding. As we all know, it’s always helpful to have some extra cash to start the new year with!

2. Clean up for the New Year
Tidy home, tidy mind! It’s always nice to start a new year with a decluttered home. While you’re selling your unwanted Christmas presents, why not also have a rummage in your attic to see if there’s anything interesting there? This is a great way to tidy up, organise your house and free up some space, ready for a clean and happy 2018! Who knows what treasures you might have buried in storage? It’s time to find out!


3. Make Other People Happy with Your Special Objects
What is trash to one person might be treasure to someone else. Maybe that vintage dress is really beautiful, but just isn’t for you…not to worry because someone else will likely love it instead. You get to make someone else very happy, and your item finds a worthy new home. It’s a win-win!

4. It’s Easy
Selling on Catawiki is simple. There’s no need to leave the house - you can do it all from the comfort of your own home! From registering as a seller, to submitting the item for auction, we walk you through the steps to make the process as streamlined and simple as possible. And if in doubt? Our dedicated Customer Support team will help you out!


5. It’s Safe and Secure 
A team of specialised experts curate all of our auctions to ensure the quality of objects sold is high. They are also on-hand to assist sellers with the auction process. Plus we use a safe and swift payment system which protects both buyers and sellers. You are not required to ship your item until payment has been made by the buyer. When you sell on Catawiki, you are supported and secure.

This is the season for new year’s resolutions, reflecting on the past year and looking ahead at the year to come. That’s why this is a great time to make some extra money, clear some space and try something new! Ready to get selling? The first step is easy. Simply register as a seller to get started.
