Do you have a kid or neighborhood person who would do Tradesy with or for you? And don't contact Frugalshrink: I think she may have the same disease.<br /><br />@Shelley--Just wrote a post about this. I LOVE doing this. I think I was made to be a peddler in the old country.Frugal Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696815672500452503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-72607974420589509512014-10-12T06:55:20.874-05:002014-10-12T06:55:20.874-05:00I read all this and think it sounds terribly stres...I read all this and think it sounds terribly stressful, dealing with all this stuff and figuring out the best deals. But for you it is a de-stresser. I guess we're wired up differently. But if your net result is less stuff you don't need and more cash for your pocket, it has to be a good thing.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-37337783154560210282014-10-10T19:06:22.884-05:002014-10-10T19:06:22.884-05:00Thank you--this is very helpful. I have realized t...Thank you--this is very helpful. I have realized that (part of) my difficulty in decluttering/deacquisitioning is that I want lovely things to go on being appreciated. This seems really odd as I write it but I want my stuff to be adopted (I am clearly too attached....). The best is if a friend or family member wants something. I am also very happy when I find a great charity where I know that the clothes/items will go directly to someone who needs them for free. Selling on ebay at a price that makes someone else feel that they got a great bargain and is delighted is also fine. I just have a harder time putting the nicest things in a Goodwill bag. Which is not to say that I don't donate to them--I do, quite a lot actually--but it is harder to see something lovely go into a big jumbled box. Maybe FrugalShrink can help me work through this since it would be far simpler to load up the car and donate at the Goodwill truck down the street.<br /><br />But somehow the house has silted up with far too much stuff and it is not pleasant to be in the midst of it all. Time for a simpler though by no means minimalist life again.Atlantichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587759935946361159noreply@blogger.com
