If you are selling your items to get out of debt you can think long-term and see that you can gradually replace your items once your debts are repaid. If you have a mortgage or car payment or both and can’t afford to meet payments it would be in your best interest to sell. This will not only help get you out of debt. Often when you resell your items you can make extra cash to repay your debts and possibly have funds left over.
