Strategies You Can Employ To Make More Cash While Selling Old Things 
Below is a checklist of tips that I encountered while explaining the concept of using strategic pricing to increase profits.

Find the right source
If you want to make money, the amount you spend on acquiring the merchandise should be less than the total amount you sell it for. Go through thrift stores, estate sales, and social media platforms. 
To make your job easier, develop friendships with people who organize estate sales or own thrift stores, who will inform you about such items.

Do your research
Creating that perfect vintage look often requires a lot of cheap, old-looking junk, etc. Various trends in the vintage market are analyzed to establish the most demanded items.

For instance, mid-century furniture, clothes from the 1980s and 1990s, or vinyl records quickly sell. Sold listings can be of immense importance in helping an individual determine areas of value. You need need to ensure proper valuing and authenticating of vintage items before you buy.

Polish and present your items
Presentation is fundamental to vintage selling. Clean and restore the items to their original form without altering them if possible. For clothing, make sure that garments are washed and steamed. 
Simple fixing or repolishing can greatly increase furniture's value. Quality photos are essential. To advertise your merchandise properly especially, vintage jewelry, employ proper lighting, aesthetically pleasing backgrounds, and different perspectives.

Leverage online platforms
Increase your audience on e-commerce platforms. These platforms reach out to vintage lovers worldwide. Also, ensure that you provide clear descriptions of the items and their accurate measurements accompanied by other keywords so that your items will be indexed.

Price strategically
Pricing is the most crucial determinant of whether a business can make profits. In the same regard, do not underprice your items to a level that the price is too low to warrant a purchase, but do not set high prices that will discourage the buyer's purchase. One could consider reducing costs, such as momentarily selling products at discounted prices or in large quantities.

Build a brand
Having a brand may help one stand out. Devise an appealing name, logo, and overall appearance for your store. Whatever media your company uses to find and sell these products, maintain visual consistency with the vintage style and feel of the products.

You may not consider spending almost a century in outer space, but selling some items to make extra cash is not rocket science. If you want to make your love for vintage items and earn money, then you should source smartly, present professionally, and market strategically.
