Why Clutter to Cash Is the Ideal Choice for Your Move

Most moving companies charge you to remove everything you cannot take with you. Clutter to Cash looks for value first. Furniture, décor, antiques, collectibles, and other quality household items may be consigned and sold on your behalf—turning moving-day clutter into cash.

💰

You Keep 50% of the Sale

When we find sellable items during your move or cleanout, we do not simply haul them away. We sell them through our resale network and pay you 50% of the sale price.

📦

One Team for Moving and Clearing

Moving, downsizing, and clearing out a home creates a long list of tasks. Our team can help remove furniture and unwanted items while identifying pieces that may have resale value.

🛋️

We Sell What Others Haul Away

Sofas, dining sets, bedroom furniture, vintage pieces, artwork, mirrors, lamps, collectibles, and quality décor can be evaluated for consignment rather than automatically treated as junk.

📸

Professional Listing and Sales

For accepted consignment items, we handle photography, pricing, listing, buyer coordination, and the sales process—so you do not have to meet strangers or manage online marketplace messages.

♻️

Responsible Sorting

Items with resale value may be consigned. Donation-eligible pieces can be directed to local organizations, while recyclable materials are diverted where possible. Only items with no better path are disposed of.

Moving and Consignment FAQs

Can you sell furniture I do not want to move?

Yes. Quality furniture in good condition—including sofas, dining sets, bedroom furniture, office pieces, and accent furniture—can be evaluated for consignment. Items should generally be clean, structurally sound, and free from major damage.

How much money do I receive?

You receive 50% of the sale price for accepted consignment items. Clutter to Cash handles the listing and sale process, then pays you your share when the sale is complete.

What if my furniture cannot be sold?

Not every item will have resale value. Donation-eligible pieces may be directed to local organizations, recyclable materials can be diverted, and only items with no better option are disposed of.

Do I need to meet buyers or deliver furniture?

No. For consigned items, Clutter to Cash manages the process, including professional photography, listing, buyer coordination, and delivery coordination where applicable.

Do you serve the whole Lower Mainland area?

If you grew up in the 1970s or 1980s, chances are your childhood toy box held treasures that today could fetch impressive prices on the collectors’ market. AOL recently highlighted 20 classic toys from those decades that have skyrocketed in value—offering both a dose of nostalgia and a reminder that vintage playthings can be serious investment pieces.

Childhood favorites, collector treasures

Some of the most sought-after toys include early Star Wars action figures, G.I. Joe collectibles, and Barbie dolls from limited editions. Vintage gadgets like the Simon electronic memory game, Atari consoles, and original Transformers also made the list, capturing the innovation and cultural spirit of their time.

Other iconic items—such as Cabbage Patch Kids, My Little Pony, and Hot Wheels redlines—are commanding hundreds or even thousands of dollars among collectors who crave pristine packaging or rare production runs. Even handheld games like Nintendo’s Game & Watch series have surged in value thanks to the retro gaming boom.

Each of these toys not only represents an era of creative design and imagination but also reminds us how nostalgia drives demand. The rarer or better-preserved the item, the more likely it is to turn a tidy profit.

Turning nostalgia into cash

If you’ve been holding onto vintage toys from your childhood—or stumbled upon boxes of them in your attic—you may be sitting on valuable collectibles without realizing it. Rather than navigating the resale process yourself, Clutter to Cash can help.

They specialize in turning forgotten treasures into profit through their consignment resale service. You simply provide your vintage items, and their team handles professional evaluation, listing, selling, and shipping—all while ensuring you get top return with none of the hassle.

Vintage Video Games & Nintendo Rarities

f you held onto old video games, you might be in luck. A sealed copy of Stadium Events for NES has sold for around $40,000, while an early print of Super Mario Bros. shattered expectations with a sale price of $660,000.

These values highlight how even common games can become rare treasures when specific early editions or packaging variations are involved.

Plush Toys & Pop Culture Icons

Not all valuable toys are action figures. Early Cabbage Patch Kids dolls—especially hand-stitched originals—can sell for thousands, while items like Rainbow Brite’s Starlite horse or a first-edition Teddy Ruxpin can bring in anywhere from a few thousand dollars to more, depending on condition.
