A Facebook user has shared his experience of how he managed to earn $30 by picking up an item from the trash.
According to his post, he had picked up a PS5 box that was thrown away by a resident at his block. Thinking that it might be useful for a prank during the Christmas period, he decided to try his luck selling the box on Carousell.
To his surprise, he managed to sell the box for $30 shortly after posting on Carousell.
In His Post:
“I SOLD AN EMPTY BOX FOR $30!
On Thursday, I was going to my void deck to throw some rubbish when I spotted a pristine PS5 box that someone had just threw away. I thought to myself, Christmas is coming and this would make a great prank!
So for the fun of it, I brought it back home, took photos and posted on Carousell. Within a day, I received a message that someone was interested but I was skeptical. After all, Carousell can be #CarouHELL at times, right? And then it happened guys.
I SOLD IT.
A BOX THAT I PICKED IT FOR NOTHING AND MADE $30.
Here’s what I’ve learnt:
– Opportunities are everything, you just need to keep your eyes open.
– One man’s rubbish is indeed another man’s treasure.
– Never try, never know.“
