    Default Summer clean it out challenge!

    I just moved and I need to get rid of lots of this shit. I have too much stuff. Do I need so many books in German that I can't read (the typeface is so squiggly)? TWO Tinkerbell costumes? Pots for plants I don't have anymore? This all needs to go on freecycle.

    I have the next two days and Saturday off and I'm going to get rid of stuff! Used book store here I come. Anyone with me? Give yourself a goal and a prize. My prize is the credit I will (hopefully) get at the used bookstore, since I'm a little on the poor side right now.

    I'm cleaning out the top of my closet where old t-shirts go to die. There's some pretty rare crap up there, and I think I'm going to list it on Ebay. We did a massive Goodwill run recently, and need to do another. I'm with you! My goal and prize are really the same, to have this crap out of my house. I suppose a small prize would be some cash for the rare shirts. I have one I just saw go for 87 bucks on ebay and mine is in far better condition.

    Most of them are XL, you've met me, I'm a tall-ish fellow. When and if I do get around to posting them (after I make MrsC take pics of them) I shall link you.

    I have a Joker T-shirt from the late 80's, that total broken in vintage cracked ink kinda thin type of shirt. With Dark Knight hysteria in full swing, perhaps I should post that one soon?

    Wow this is right on time with my move Rose

    I have most of my furniture on CL, have all my old clothes in bags to donate, and am giving away all the makeup and perfume and beauty products that I don't use to my friend. My house is in shambles right now though

    I have been selling all my old books, DVDs, and old video games on Amazon. It really pays to take care of your posessions, people! I've already made probably $200 in just 2 weeks.

    Alrite my goal is to get THIS house cleaned up, and have the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom of our new house cleaned!!

    That reminds me-I need to put my old school books up on Amazon! I threw out two bags of crap today and I have a bag of clothes and a box of books to go to Goodwill/used bookstore. Found a lot of spiders though. Ugh.

    I would like to get rid of two large garbage bags of stuff.

    For this... I'll buy myself a coat rack for my motorcycle gear.

    I'd also like to clean out more for Sinder as well.

    Alrite people.

    Both my TVs are gone So are a lot of my books and DVDs! I gave away bags of stuff to Goodwill, and put all my pictures (this was ALL my pics....from college and high school) in picture albums instead of just thrown in a drawer. And somebody's coming to pick up my couch and vanity table tomorrow.

    Today=moving our bedroom set (the only furniture we are keeping) and most of our possessions into the house. Hopefully tonight I can buy a new computer desk. I can't even fathom unplugging my internet at this house.

    How do you know how much to price the books for on Amazon? I have a ton of old school books that I'd love to unload.

    You can do a search on the book you are trying to sell, see what other people are selling it for. If you want it to go quickly, don't price it much higher than the lowest price, unless its in really good condition.

    I love Amazon!

    well boo...the used bookstore didnt want any of my books. She said they were only interested in classics right now(and I'm keeping my classics) and the were full of anything else. So I have a HUGE bag of books and nowhere to take them...the other 2 used bookstores I knew of around me have closed.

    I did manage to acquire 7 NEW books though (hey they were $2 I couldnt resist)...true crime novels, Lyle Menendez's diary and a book called WHORE detailing one girls life in prostitution. Cool beans!

    Anyone want some books?LOL

    mr. christopher- i'm drooling over the joker shirt! found some joker hitops on ebay once. quite cool.

    i've been cleaning stuff out, too. some things i'm waiting until xmas to sell, because they would sell better then. others i've been selling the past few months. i had a shirt i wanted, so i made myself sell a bunch of things before i could buy it.
