[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 745238, member: 23103"] Copa, I have sold on Ebay. I find it a PITA !!! I won't do it anymore. If it's clothes, belts, purses, I take those to the resale shop, NOT consignment, just the shops that pay me for the stuff and what they don't take I drop off at Salvation Army. As for the other stuff, see if there is a resale shop for stuff and take it there. To me garage sales are a lot of work. I did do a garage sale 1x and set up 6 or 7 tables. I everything just marked with those different colored circle stickers. If it was small stuff I put a few in a bag or box for $1, the had $5, 10, 15, 20. that was it. if it was stuff that was worth more than 5 less than 10 I put 5. I sold a lot and people of course bargained. What ever, it got cleared out. Computers.. funny you say about them. So hard to toss when they are price. I got rid of 2 laptops, I had 2 that worked but weren't up to speed for me. I cleaned them off and gave them to the homeless shelter. They were happy to take them. I had to obsolete desktops that I cleared of, pulled the hard drives and dropped off at Best Buy..no charge for them to get rid of those. Also, here FB has on-line garage sale sites for local areas. I got rid of washer, dryer and a refrigerator on there. I gave them away (I could have sold them, but hey if someone would just come and get them I was happy!) People sell tons of stuff on the local on-line gargle sales. Don't offer delivery just post 5 things/week let people get them and go from there. Just ideas. My house is pretty much cleaned out at this point. I really could go through the kitchen cupboards again. But last summer when Ben and his girlfriend got an apartment I did a BIG clear out and gave the stuff to them. It felt so good to downsize that stuff. [/QUOTE]
