    Around here, folks manage to sell the REAL junk - the stuff that's
    broken, doesn't work, is missing pieces ... ready for the trash! Just hang a sign
    on it saying "Broken / Doesn't Work" and it seems to increase in value!

    It's great you got some money for your "junk", and it will look less cluttered at home. I really need to get rid of some things too, but as John, I have always been keeping things.

    In the summertime, we can rent a little space in a various places - bring a table and put what you want to sell on it. The only problem is that you need a car to transport it there.

    In the Southeast they have the "longest yardsale in the world"!

    We have yard sales, garage sales, estate sales which are the same thing as a flea market!

    The Longest Yard Sale runs for a weekend and is something like 100 miles (It's more but I don't know the exact length!) long and people buy and sell all kinds of things!

    Congrats on your new found weath and good luck!

    If we had a flea market here, I would love to sell stuff there! But, we don't, and I'm too lazy to organize a yard sale. So I end up just donating stuff to charity. Which is good.
