Have you always wanted to shop from Oprah Winfrey's wardrobe? Now is your chance!

After 25 years on the air, Oprah is cleaning out her closet for charity. She will be doing this with the help of "O" magazine creative director Adam Glassman. With proceeds benefiting The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy in South Africa, the talk show queen will auction off 150 items of clothing, shoes and accessories on eBay.

(Opened in 2007 with 150 low-income seventh-and-eighth graders, The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy now enrolls about 300 students. The first senior graduation will be in 2011!)

Glassman gave Good Morning America a preview of the items Winfrey parted with, and shared great tips on how to simplify your own closets and De-Clutter your life!

Purses

Glassman says this black quilted Chanel bag and gold Bottega Veneta purse are examples of bagsOprah's Chanel & Bottega     Bags
Oprah purchased in her "ladies who lunch" phase. Although they're very chic, they proved impractical for her lifestyle and too small for her frame.

Wouldn't these be a great new addition to your wardrobe? If so, go to http://stores.ebay.com/Auction-Cause/Oprah and check out all of the items Oprah has provided for this auction!

 

 

Shoes

Now you can truly walk in Oprah's shoes! Oprah is known for her fabulous footwear, like these red Prada wedges. She wears a new pair of shoes for every show and only puts them on for the taping.

During her closet clean out, Oprah discovered that she's actually aOprah's Pumps size 11 shoe, not a size 10, so her collection of items to be auctioned includes beautiful shoes that are too small and in great shape.

The auction also features a collector's item: the jacket Winfrey and other members of the Chicago delegation wore to Copenhagen for the 2016 Olympic bid. Winfrey said she would've kept the jacket if Chicago had been awarded the Olympics.

The auctions began today, March 1, 2010 and will run through March 11, 2010 at 11:00AM EST. Go to http://stores.ebay.com/Auction-Cause/Oprah for more information.

Get some gifts that you're not so sure about? Can't decide what to do with them? Don't worry, there's a chance you can turn it into cold, hard cash... and isn't that the best gift of all? All you have to do is sell it on eBay!

According to eBay, the days, weeks, and even months following the holiday season is a prime shopping time for people who buy online.  People are looking for deals on overstocked items as well as those post-Christmas bargains. But that also means more eyes on your auction! And the best time to list those items is now! Especially with new electronics, the sooner the better. If you got a new digital camera for the holidays and don't need it or don't want it, list it on eBay as soon as possible because once a new model comes out the value of that camera will begin to drop! 

If your unwanted gifts are collectibles, clothes, or anything else that doesn't become outdated every few months like electronics do than you can afford to wait a little bit longer before their value begins to drop. That is, however, as long as those gifts are stored properly and not used. To avoid any potential decrease in the item's value it is reccommended that you list it for sale as soon as possible.
