T-Minus 412 Days: Purging And Selling Update

It amazes me how much crap we collect over the years. Americans fill their house, fill their garage, and fill their basement. When they run out of room, they buy a shed. When the shed is full, they buy a storage rental. All of this worthless treasure just unintentionally builds up over years and years.

Just looking at my desk right now: I have a USB toy on my desk that changes colors, a holder for my cell phone. a gizmo that tells me the temperature in my office, beaded necklace from some trip I took, a shelf full of Disney memorabilia, a collection of sea shells and coral from various trips to Florida beaches, and the list just goes on and on.

Purging has become our life! And now, selling on Facebook Marketplace. In just 15 days we have sold 16 items and made $250. We are simply selling old toys. When the kids got tired of a toy in their bedroom or living room, we moved it to the toy room. When they were tired of it being in the toy room, we moved it to our "tub city" storage to be sold as some future yard sale that never happened. And now these are the toys we need to purge and we are selling. I have done 33 Marketplace Postings and sold nearly half of everything I posted. And I have thousands more things to post!

We do plan on having a rummage sale. However, the great thing about Marketplace is that something that might only fetch a dollar at a yard sale is getting $5 or more on Marketplace!

Our worthless junk becomes someone else's treasure, and their money goes to help fund our move to Florida!
