Just found this thread- it's perfect, so thank you! Last spring, I found that somehow I had the contents of 3 houses in one. Actually , the somehow had lots of story behind it. I hired a personal organizer who specializes in chronic disorganization and hoarding and she has worked with me about 6 full days over the past year. It was so hard to let her see the Mhes the first time. Some day I will be brave enough to post the pictures showing the changes. After a year, I'm largely down to the things I want to get rid of, but I think are worth some money. The organizer had discouraged me from saving things in order to sell them, but I made the decision that I would try to sell anything I thought I could get at least $ 10.00 for on EBay. Recently I've had trouble getting myself to list things, then to pack them and send them off- but I just paid some bills with the $500.00 I made this month. I think I need to remember that when I can't get myself to list the stuff, it is because I still have trouble getting rid of some things. I've found that it helps to list something I really don't care about to get the momentum going. I'm setting as goal of selling about 5-7 things a week till I'm happy with what I have left. That's about how much I can handle mailing out. Anyone else found places to sell things or have good systems?
