Liquidating

Ouch! This hurts. Being seniors we have accumulated a lot of stuff. What helps is 'that if I haven't seen/needed/wanted' this in the last year then why am I keeping it.
It has been (is) a slow process. Our house has not sold yet so the remaining furniture has to remain. We have distributed a lot of small stuff to local flea market which gives you minimal return. The larger stuff went to used furniture/antique shops which gives you a better return but turns over slower. Garage sales have been very successful with decent returns, selling mostly tools and house hold maintenance items. Sales have slowed down once items have been picked over, time to lower prices again.
