Decision for online vs local selling

Books and Magazines, what to do with them

One thing I've noticed as I sort and look for ways to eliminate the clutter is the decisions that have to be made. Originally I thought it would be simple to sort into bins and get rid of 'stuff' that way.

Blasted WRONG!!. Emotions, logic, realization that everything is not high priced gold and bah! humbug! Decisions take on an unrealistic complexity.

So yesterday I spent hours sorting.............magazines and books!! Agh! Now I go to enough Country Auctions to know that not many magazines and books bring huge prices (reality check like $1 a box-or less). So what to do?

Sorted the holiday magazines into separate piles: Tried not to angst over the really neat stuff between the pages of 1981-2000 McCalls, Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day Christmas editions (you know back when a magazine had super great stuff in them to tweak the imagination and Christmas crafting?

Was only moderately successful. Today I listed the magazine on the local Nextech Classifieds at $1.50 each or make offer for the entire bunch. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

But wait!! Maybe I better go up and look through them before someone buys that one magazine from 1983 that I can't live without!!..Do you hear them calling me? Maybe it's just a ghost outside my window as it's almost Halloween. Better go check.
