I love giving to goodwill, but not this kind of stuff, our weekends are so busy with moving stuff out of storage, trying to have a family day, doing groceries, that there isnt enough time there either.... this has been what has held me back before, and at times I get so frustrated, I'll just say who cares lets just get rid of it so its out of here, but then I cant bring myself to throw money away like that.... so I can def relate to others..... oh yeah, did I mention hundreds and hundreds of those stupid beanie babies??? WTH,, my dh did that, if you can believe that... again before he met me.lol.
There are places that will sell stuff for you on E-bay for a fee.

I generally do not mess with having a yard sale unless it is a group-type sale. When we've tried to have yard sales in the past (on our own), we only made maybe $5-10. It was not worth the effort and time for us. I've never sold or bought anything on e-bay before. I just prefer to donate; I figure that someone else needs that item more than we do.
