With online
charity auctions,
you can put virtually anything up for sale and use the proceeds to
support your chosen charity. However, some things do tend to sell
better than others.
Without a definite sell,
you won't be able to help the charity of your choice as much as you
thought you could. If you're dead set on helping charities via this
route, it's best to know about the items that tend to sell really
well. The item doesn't necessarily have to be in high demand,
although that does increase the item's chances of being bought.

lists two of the biggest charity auction hits:
Electronics
Believe us when we tell
you to sell your old smartphone or laptop for charity. As each
generation grows more tech-savvy, so will demand for years-old
gadgets. In fact, we've been mentioned in several lists of the best
places to sell electronics in support of a good cause. On top of
that, you can prevent landfills from swelling in size due to
discarded electronics.
Travel Packages
Won a trip to Europe but
don't have the time to enjoy it? Why not auction that travel package
before the deal expires? If you can't enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip
to a fabulous destination in the near future, then find someone else
who can and make a difference for a charity at the same time.
