If you have a closet full of handbags that you rarely use, there are several resale options that could earn you big bucks.

If you have a closet full of handbags that you rarely use, there are several resale options that could earn you big bucks.

First, try consignment shops.

You should know, they name their own price and only offer you a 50-50 split.

Option two, sell it yourself on eBay.

You get to list the price and eBay only takes a 10 percent cut.

However, because some buyers are leery of sellers who don't have high profiles, you may not get high visibility or high bids.

Last but not least, try online resellers like Poshmark or Fashionphile.

They can take up to a 20 percent cut, but they cater to a specific audience looking for exactly what you are selling. This might also net you the biggest take-home.

Whatever you choose, just know that if you're looking to clean out your closet and make some fast cash, you've got several great options.
