My new years resolution was to get organized. So far I've been doing good with it. I've pretty much cleaned out every closet and gone through almost the whole garage. It's amazing what you find when you start digging thru stuff.
The next part is what the heck do I do with all the stuff that I don't really want or need. Some stuff gets thrown away, some gets donated ... but the rest I have found a really great outlet for. I'm not a big fan of Craigslist because I've heard of some crazy stories and really don't want to take the risk. About a year and a half ago my sister told me about groups on Facebook. There are Moms and other groups that people buy and sell on. Kind of like a garage sale online for your local area. Everything from baby & kids things, toys and even household stuff. Pretty much anything. You would be surprised at the crazy stuff people sell. The trick I have found is: take a good picture... Write a good description... And price it like you want to sell it. The funny thing I found is that it either cells right away or nobody cares. Persistence helps... I put the same thing up 4 or 5 different times and nobody cared. The next time I put it up 10 different people wanted it... Who knows...it's all about timing I guess. Over the last year and half I've probably sold about $1,500 worth of stuff and probably have about that much more to sell. The goal is to have it all sold by December - then I can move on to a new - New Year's resolution!
