If you watch Lion's Den, you are likely familiar with TrendTrunk. A Canadian company, this website provides an alternative to cleaning out your closets to traditional consignment stores or Ebay.

With a free membership, you can upload pictures right from your iphone into their database, and there is no cost to list, so you can upload as much as you want. When your item sells, TrendTrunk takes 20% of the profit, and 80% goes back to you, to either check out, or to shop the many closets that are on TrendTrunk.

Another plus, is that all prices are shown with shipping included.

If you list an item for $20, TrendTrunk automatically shows the price as $28 (including shipping). When your item sells, TrendTrunk instantly emals you a shipping slip You print it out, tape it to the package and bring it to Canada Post. Easy peasy!

Much like Ebay, there is also a rating system. Once the transaction is done, the buyer and seller rate each other, so you have some insight into whether your potential buyers or sellers are reliable.

If you aren't on TrendTrunk already, I highly recommend checking it out both to buy and sell. My only disappointment with this site is that some of the people in this community want to haggle all the time, which does kind of piss me off. We are all on there to buy and sell so I think people need to respect other people's circumstances. If you don't like the price - move on :) Its not TrendTrunk's fault, but there seems to be more hagglers that I am use to on other online classifieds/auction sites. However, I buy and sell on there quite a bit, and as you can see from my rating, its all aces in my mind. A few hagglers won't ruin my fun, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

Cheers,
