One would think that I am nesting as I'm going through my entire house and purging a ton of the "extras". But, I'm actually on a selling high. There is this great page on Facebook for people who live or work full time in my county. You can sell/buy/trade your old things and it works like a charm! I am de-cluttering and selling things my kids NEEDED to have, yet haven't played with after the first 5 minutes of opening up.
One may get carried away and start taking pictures of everything, including their everyday dinnerware, but thankfully not everything sells right away, because what would these people eat on after it got sold? Good thing, I, errr, this person stocked up on paper plates to tide them over until new items could be bought.
So, maybe this site isn't going to make some people a ton of money. Out with the old, in with the new, right??
It also may not be great for an impulse buyer like myself. I just purchased a brand new Electronic Battleship for $12. I used to love that game...I'm sure my kids will too...in 2 years or so, as it's ages 8+. I'll just store it...too good of a deal to pass up. Unless I google it and it shows that it sells for $15 at Toys R Us. Wait...let me google it right now.
SCORE!!! This game sells for $44 on Amazon. See? I just HAD to have it.
I will probably sell it Jan. 1st after we open it and the little pieces are all over the place....but better spend $12 than $44 and do that, right?
I love to justify.
Anyway, check out your facebook page to see if anyone in your county has a "for sale/free/trade in _____ County" I highly recommend!!!
Happy Shopping!
