I have a new addiction: Online Yard Sales! My friends will tell you that is pretty much all I talk about anymore. There is everything for sale from door knobs to Dior! People have even sold cars and homes via the online yard sale. Now you would think that I am buying, but NO! I am selling!
It is wonderful! I have been selling all our extra stuff. I brought a lot of items into our marriage and have been storing it. I have sold lamps, tables, shoes, purses, crystal, storage materials, and even a chandelier! Pretty much, you name it, I will sell it. We have deleted so much stuff that we now have empty drawers in the house! I was up in our attic this morning and we actually have space up there! Wahoo!
My husband has even gotten into the act. He will be grabbing something off a shelf and he something will catch his eye. Next thing you know, we are taking a picture and posting the item! The best thing about online sales is that you don't have to sell a bunch of stuff at once. You can do an item here and there. No pressure! If it doesn't sell, you can hold onto it for awhile or put it into the donate pile. Currently, we are concentrating on the garage.
The people on these yard sale sites are very nice as well. If you ask for a referral for something, in minutes, you will get 50 responses. It is a truly amazing way to use the Internet for good for everyone involved. Even my friends are getting in on the act. I have helped some of my best girlfriends put things up to sell. You should try it. Almost every city or suburb has an online garage or yard sale. It feels great to purge your life of the things that no longer serve a purpose in your life.
It is wonderful to have empty space in your home. It is even better knowing that someone else is getting to enjoy an item that you owned. The best? Getting a few dollars in your pocket to do as you please. What am I going to do with mine? Well, my dog ate our window seat, so that will be my first purchase. And my husband has a big birthday coming up...
