<p>[QUOTE="Scott Bal, post: 415453, member: 8868"]One think I have learned since clearing out our family's house of 53 years is that if you have any kind of attachment to something you want to get rid of, selling it (or at least advertising it locally for free pick up) might be the best option. For me, anyway, I felt that if I just donated the items, someone who might not appreciate it could just pick it up for next to nothing. But if you sell it, you're likely to find someone who knows what it is and will appreciate it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I got rid of a lot of stuff during that time and advertising it so that people went through the process of bidding for it or just buying it or at least having to come by and pick it up ensured that the person more likely really wants it. I wasn't out to make a buck, but I didn't want to just dump it off somewhere. (I hope this makes sense!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Scott[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
