I think I can do this. I think I can get through the boxes and boxes of well loved clothes my boys have outgrown. I've been going through these boxes all morning, sipping coffee and sorting through the memories attached when I come across certain items. Everything, except the memories, is garage sale bound.
While I love getting rid of stuff because I hate clutter and enjoy the extra cash to feed my Starbucks addiction, I'm not thrilled when people try to talk me down to a buck for things I paid a whole lot more for. I've got clothes from Baby Style, Tea Collection and even some Frenchie brands. No Circo! And I take care of my things. I'm OCD about that. I still have the manuals for most things. Some items fetch more money on Craigslist. When I tried to sell $25 Livie and Luca shoes last year for $4, people balked! I think it's just that they didn't know the brand. When I got home, I searched on Craigslist and saw Livie and Lucas shoes going for $15 and up! I ended up giving mine away. So while I'm excited that most of my stuff will be going to new homes (and hopefully to homes who have twins or more), I'm always dismayed that this sale has become such a dollar store fest! Great for buyers (who'll one day be sellers and tables will turn) and not-so-great from a seller's point of view.
Anyhow, I think I'll just be happy to come home to an empty garage. So here are the details:
