One of the best decluttering mechanism in the world is eBay. When my husband and I first moved into our apartment years ago, we realized just how much stuff we had that we never used. We have always been very good about donating clothes and household stuff like dishes, towels, etc to the charities. What we had amassed was more in the way of media...movies, CDs, games, gaming systems. Stuff most charities aren't really focussed on...stuff that falls a little low on the list of priorities. You're homeless...here's 5 Dave Mathews CDs. So I started listing on eBay. You could not believe how much stuff we sold that way. We felt good that it wasn't going in the trash, the buyers were happy to be picking up a favorite movie for a couple of bucks, and the clutter was floating away right to the PO. We in turn used the money to buy 2nd hand things we needed.
Just makes the little green elf in me warm and fuzzy.
Trying to make room for an at home business in a land overrun by my little monkeys is def. going to take a few eBay yard sales. Anyone in the market for a half eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich? It only has 5 petrified cheerios stuck to it.
