As a former eBayer, I find that only certain things sell well on eBay. I might have been able to see the fridge, but that was it… The chair was a $15 version new, but mine was broke…

eBay is great, but not in these things I had to sell.

The more one things about it, the more is makes sense. I still have a long way to go, but this is a great first step.

That voice was a lot louder 10 years ago. Now I mainly here my wife’s voice saying “get rid of it”. And surprisingly, I’m agreeing

Why didn’t you Ebay any of those things? Getting rid of clutter is great but you had a few dollars there. I mean if you kept the chair for 12 years what’s another week for a quick sale?

Getting rid of clutter periodically is a great idea. I’m experiencing helping my parents clear things out after many years, and it’s overwhelming. I’ve learned a lesson.

It takes a lot of emotional fortitude to throw out a lot of stuff. I find that the little voice keeps saying, “But maybe you’ll need this someday…”

Good for you that you were able to get rid of a lot of things.

Good idea! The thing is that hardly anybody come down our street, so putting it out earlier might not have the effect we wanted.

But on this one special night, people that look for that stuff hit’s the routes that have garbage that give night. The are frugal and clever about saving their gas…

For me, it’s really like Christmas, except in reverse. I love the fact that someone will make use of my stuff…

Part of the fun is hoping someone comes and picks it up! It’s Bizarro Christmas, and it’s something that I enjoy.

We send our better stuff to goodwill.

Mostly, it was broken. The fridge had issues too. Of the lot, it was the only thing that I think had value.

If I were single and renting still, I would do craigslist. eBay is too much hassle for such items. I’m an eBay and I know it wouldn’t be work the hassle.
