Ug.

I emptied my wardrobe yesterday - some into a pile for work, infest and friday flock, most into a large cardboard box (easily filled - oops) and 3 whole items into the bin. I still have a how washing basket full of clothes that'll need sorting into these 3 piles and all the stuff in my chest of drawers. damn I have a lot of clothes - mostly crap and/or pvc :P

hadn't been looking forward to this as highly I'm allergic to dust and my face actually puffed up, my eyes were streaming and I sneezed so much and so hard that I've pulled muscles in my left shoulder.

moving house is not fun :( can you hire people to come in and riffle through your stuff and decide what you need to keep and pack it otherwise throw it away?

EDIT: in the marvellous tradition of all things annoying I've realised I have a hen to at the races next weekend and will therefore need presentable clothes for that. in a double whammy the clothes I thought most appropriate are at the bottom of the packing carton. arse.

You can hire me ;-p I've been helping Aidan decide for the last 4 years or so what to pack and what to chuck out. Four runs to the local dump with a full estate car this weekend alone.

You have my sympathy as we're going through the same thing. I have however made a fortune on eBay as I had the luxury of time which you unfortunately don't. I do feel as though I've got rid of a lot of stuff that was just hanging about since the dawn of time and I feel a lot better for it.

Good luck!

I've never done any ebaying - it just seems like it'd be so fraught with hassle - I keep meaning to give someone my stuff to sell for a percentage!

I might sell some stuff after I've moved as the only things I've thrown out are crap old stuff - I still have lots of stuff I don't wear - including some latex.

with clothes best to wait til cheap listing days they have every so often. otherwise after listing fees and selling fees there's not much left for yourself!

Hon, I have a stall this weekend at Infest - drop em round mine with prices you want x

hmm. there's only really the latex skirt that's ready to go - the leotard/body is going to require a lot of buffing as it's developed patches in the wardrobe... ta anyway though

I would highly recommend the niceboots community on here as well. I've sold tons on there and all you have to do is put up photos. You don't pay any fees unlike eBay and you probably know most of the people on it already!

it's the whole guessing postage, packing it up and having to trogg all the way to a post office to send it off that puts me off. I am both lazy and too far from a post office :P

I know this far too well....I have 200+ ebay feedback and i think i've sold one item on there which was a projector, was cheap and needed collection anyway.

I have *LOADS* of stuff to sell, that will net 100's if not 1000's and i'm still apathetic.

Depends really on what you sell...

Clothes and musical equipment have always sold for me... the clothes especially if they look unique and in good nick :)

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Not so much clothes...Some hifi gear, from when i upgraded.

I also have a cupboard full of expensive Nightmare Before Christmas stuff that needs to be sold and split....we are talking most the range and the walt disney classic collection for the film, including some deleted pieces etc !
