I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Not-free things: I have some stuff that I want to sell in the name of paring down my crap. Said stuff ranges from toys to jewelry (and a lava lamp). And I'm not entirely sure how to proceed with that. Any tips from people who've done it before?

Oooh I would really like a dreamwidth code...

I'm not really into selling things online but I've recently been paring down belongings too (just moved)

If you have a LOT of jewelry in good condition and just want to get rid of it all, consignment might be a good option. The place I go to gives you 30-45% of whatever original cost of item is if they can sell it, and if they can't sell it after 3 months they just give it back to you, but different places have different rules.

So when I was a senior at MHC I was (somewhat creepily) obsessed with buying and selling things on craigslist. It is surprising how much weird stuff people are willing to buy there, and you don't lose money on commission or shipping. For example, I made (a tiny bit of) money buying and selling out of print GameCube games, which weren't worth much more than $15-25 each at the time.

If you go inside a place like Goodwill or Salvation Army while they are open they will write you a receipt for the items you donate that you can put on your tax forms (if you even do taxes that way).

I am trying to sell stuff too right now, but it is difficult being in a city with many universities because lots of people are trying to move out and sell things right now. I think I will hang on to most of it until the fall when the new students move in and people start needing things (have a few large items like TV, DVD player, old computer, dining table set that I am hoping to get more money for).
