You’ve got booty to flog. But you’re too busy slogging your guts out to sell it.

If you want some cash back for unwanted purchases but haven’t the stamina for eBay, enlist the services of SpeedSell. The ingenious new company collects unloved items — unused/secondhand electronics, musical instruments, mobile phones, gold, jewellery, sports equipment, kitchen appliances, baby kit, toys, books — and sells them for you. Just seal the deal (all goods must be well-packaged), take the money and run.

Collection from any address in the UK is free for trades more than £25, or you can post items directly. Because products are prevalued, you know what you’re going to get for them; payment is sent within one week. And if you recommend SpeedSell on Facebook, you can increase your profits.

Not bad for an hour’s work.
